The sum of four consecutive even numbers is 44. what are the four numbers?

Let the four consecutive even numbers be represented as ( x, x+2, x+4, x+6 ). The equation for their sum is ( x + (x+2) + (x+4) + (x+6) = 44 ). Simplifying this, we get ( 4x + 12 = 44 ). Solving for ( x ), we find ( x = 8 ), so the four numbers are 8, 10, 12, and 14.
