Consecutive odd nums

Sum of four consecutive odd numbers is 40. Find the numbers.

Correct answer:

a =  7
b =  9
c =  11
d =  13

Step-by-step explanation:

m=40/4=10  b=m−1=10−1=9 c=m+1=10+1=11 a=m−3=10−3=7 d=m+3=10+3=13   Verifying Solution:  a+b+c+d=40 b=a+2 …  A+(A+2)+(A+4)+(A+6)=40  4A=28  A=428​=7  A=7
