Answer:
least integer is 38
Explanation:
consecutive even integers have a difference of 2 between them
let n be the smallest integer, then
the 3 consecutive integers are n + 2 , n + 4 , n + 6
sum the 4 integers and equate to 164, solving for n
n + n + 2 + n + 4 + n + 6 = 164 ( simplify left side )
4n + 12 = 164 ( subtract 12 from both sides )
4n = 152 ( divide both sides by 4 )
n = 38
the least integer is 38
