Remark

As long as the representation shows the numbers come one after another, you can get x to be anything.

Givens

x Can be the second number

x - 1 Can be the first number

x + 1 Can be the third number

x + 2 Can be the fourth number

Equation

x + x + 2= 132

Solution

2x + 2 = 132

2x = 130

x = 65

So the 4 numbers are 64 65 66 67

Check

The second and fourth numbers added together = 65 + 67 = 132
