Answer 4

4 consecutive even integers...
x, x + 2, x + 4, x + 6

the greatest is 14 less then twice the smallest..
x + 6 = 2x - 14
6 + 14 = 2x - x
20 = x

x + 2 = 20 + 2 = 22
x + 4 = 20 + 4 = 24
x + 6 = 20 + 6 = 26

check..
x + 6 = 2x - 14
20 + 6 = 2(20) - 14
26 = 40 - 14
26 = 26 (correct)

so your 4 consecutive even integers are : 20,22,24,26
