Question 993511

Find the third of four consecutive odd integers given that the sum of the first two integers if four times the larger
<pre>Let smallest integer be S
Then others are:
S + 2
S + 4
S + 6
From the description. S + S + 2 = 4(S + 6)
 2S + 2 = 4S + 24
2S - 4S = 24 - 2
   - 2S = 22
S, or smallest integer = {{{22/(- 2)}}}, or - 11
Third integer: - 11 + 4, or {{{highlight_green(- 7)}}}
