ok so consecutive even numbers are 2 apart, like 2,4,6

so they are
x,x+2,x+4,x+6

total is 144
x+x+2+x+4+x+6=144
4x+12=144
minus 12 both sides
4x=132
divide both sides by 4
x=33
impossible, why is it odd
if it was 148 or 140, then we could have a sum of four consecutive integers, but no, so answer is no solution unless you mistyped and put even instead of  odd or something
