Question

Find 4 consecutive even numbers whose sum is 356.

Answer 1

Let the four consecutive even numbers be $x-3,x-1,x+1,$ and $x+3$

where $x$ is an odd number

According to the question,

$x-3+x-1+x+1+x+3=356$

$\Rightarrow 4x=356$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{356}{4}=89$

So $x=89$

Consecutive even numbers are

$x-3=89-3=86$

$x-1=89-1=88$

$x+1=89+1=90$

$x+3=89+3=92$
