Answer:

Hope this helps!!

Explanation:

So the four consecutive odd integers are: 51 , 53 , 55 and 57 .

If the first integer is n, then the other three are n+2,n+4 and n+6

and we have:

216=n+(n+2)+(n+4)+(n+6)=4n+12

Subtract 12 from both ends and transpose to get:

4n=204

Divide both sides by 4

to get:

n=51

So the four consecutive odd integers are:

51,53, 55 and 57.
