Answer:

114, 115, 116, and 117

Explanation:

Let x be the first integer.

The 4 consecutive integers would be:

x

x+1

x+2

x+3

Their sum is 462

----

x+(x+1)+(x+2)+(x+3) = 462

4x + 6 = 462

4x = 456

x = 114

The four consecutive integers would be:

114, 115, 116, and 117

Check: Do these add to 462? Yes.
