Explanation:
A generic even integer can be represented by
So then, the four consecutive integers would be:
2n, 2n+2, 2n+4, 2n+6
We know that the sum of these integers is
2n+(2n+2)+(2n+4)+(2n+6) =52
:. 8n+12 =52
:. 8n =40
:. n =5
And so with this value of n the even consecutive numbers are:
10, 12, 14, 16
