Algebraic Expression....
1) x+2
2) x+4
3) x+6
4) x+8
x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 + x + 8 = 2060
First: combine "like" terms.
x + x + x + x + 2 + 4 + 6 + 8 = 2060
4x + 20 = 2060
Sec: subtract 20 from both sides (when you move a term to the opposite side, always use the opposite sign).
4x + 20-20 = 2060-20
4x = 2060 - 20
4x = 2040
Third: solve for "x" by isolating the variable on one side > divide both sides by 4.
4x/4 = (2040)/4
x = (2040)/4
x = 510
Now, replace 510 with each "x" variable in the algebraic expressions.
1) x+2
= 510+2
= 512
2) x+4
= 510+4
= 514
3) x+6
= 510+6
= 516
4) x+8
= 510+8
= 518
Solutions: 512, 514, 516, 518

If you are looking for 4 consecutive integers...
Let x=lowest integer
x+(x+2)+(x+4)+(x+6)=2060
4x+12=2060
4x=2048
x=512
So the integers are, 512+514+516+518

see if this works ...
let x be the first of the 4 consecuitive integers.
the next 3 will be:
x+2
x+4
x+6
therefore, x+ x+2 + x + 4 + x + 6 = 2060
combine everything and : 4X + 12 = 2060
do a little algebra and X = 512
512 + 514 + 516 + 518 = 2060
it works!!

x + (x+2) + (x+4) + (x+6) = 2060
4x + 12 = 2060
4x = 2048
x = 512
the numbers are:
512, 514, 516 and 518

x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 = 2060
4x + 12 = 2060
4x + 12 - 12 = 2060 - 12
4x = 2048
4x / 4 = 2048 / 4
x = 2048 / 4
x = 512

The first consecutive integer is 512
The second consecutive integer is 514
The third consecutive integer is 516
The fourth consecutive iteger is 518

you solve it by
x+(x+2)+(x+4)+(x+6)=2060
this is
4x+12=2060
4x=2048
x=512
then the integers are 512, 514, 516, and 518.
