Question

four consecutive odd integers such that 4 times the sum of the first and third is 4 larger than 4 times the fourth

Answer 1

The 4 consecutive odd integers are

 

n

n + 2

n + 4

n + 6

 

The wording of the problem translates into algebra as

 

4[n + (n + 4)] = 4(n + 6) + 4

 

Solve for n and get n = 3.  The integers are 3,5,7,9.  Test the answers.
