Question 1204967
<font color=black size=3>
<font color=red>1st</font> number = <font color=red>x</font> = some even integer
<font color=green>2nd</font> number = <font color=green>x+2</font> = the even integer just after x
<font color=blue>3rd</font> number = <font color=blue>x+4</font> = the even integer just after x+2
<font color=purple>4th</font> number = <font color=purple>x+6</font> = the even integer just after x+4


One possible equation to form is
5(<font color=red>x</font> + <font color=blue>x+4</font>) = 2(<font color=green>x+2</font> + <font color=purple>x+6</font>) + 9604
Pay attention to the color coding to see where all the expressions fit in.


The left side is of the form 5*(<font color=red>1st</font> + <font color=blue>3rd</font>)
The right side is of the form 2*(<font color=green>2nd</font> + <font color=purple>4th</font>) + 9604


I'll let the student solve that equation for x.
