a x 3 = ((a + 4) x 2) + 2 ie 3a = 2a + 8 + 2 so a = 10 and other numbers are 12 & 14.

Why is it that when you subtract four consecutive numbers the answer is always double the highest number but in minus?
Clarify. Subtract four consecutive numbers ... from what? It appears you mean something like: 22 - 21 - 20 - 19 And the answer is NOT -44. It is -38 ... negative double of the LOWEST number. If this is what you mean, then you have discovered another rule of mathematics. It will always work. 1001 - 1000 - 999 - 998 = -1996 Exactly the negative double of 998

Why is it that when you subtract four consecutive numbers they equal double the highest number but in minus. eg 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 equals -8 4 plus 4 equals 8 equals -8?
Strictly speaking you are not subtracting 4 consecutive numbers because the first two (+1 and -2) are not consecutive. The result is easy to see algebraically. Suppose you start with x. Then you are calculating x - (x+1) - (x+2) - (x+3). That is, x - x-1 - x-2 - x-3 which simplifies to -2x - 6. Then taking the common factor, -2, out, you get -2*(x+3)

What numbers do you get when you add consecutive even numbers?
Leaving aside 2, you will get so-called singly even numbers, those which are divisible by 2 but not by 4. (e.g. 2 + 4 = 6) The sum of consecutive even integers (n) + (n+2) is 2n +2, which is double the intervening odd number (n+1).
