Answer: The even integers are -10, -8, -6 and -4

Explanation:

Let the smallest of the even integers be represented by x, the other three will therefore be x +2, x +4 and x+6

Thus, x + (x+2) + (x+4) + (x+6) = -28

4x + 12= -28

Make x the subject of the equation

4x= -28 - 12

4x= -40

x = -10,

since the x = -10,

x + 2= -10 + 2= -8

x + 4= -10 +4 = -6

x + 6= -10 + 6= -4

I hope this helps.
