Well if you don't know what the numbers are then you can let x be an even number, then your consecutive numbers would be x, x+2, x+4,x+6 etc. so lets say that x is an even number and you are told that x and the three consecutive even numbers after it added together equals 48. then you would say: x + (x +2) + (x + 4) + (x + 6) = 48 combine like terms and you get: 4x + 12 = 48 subtract 12 from both sides 4x = 36 x = 9 and there you have it. Hope this helps :)

What are four consecutive numbers that add up to 35?
There are no four consecutive whole numbers that add up to 35. The sum of two consecutive [whole] numbers is an even number plus an odd number which is an odd number. The sum of two consecutive numbers and the two next consecutive numbers is the sum of two odd numbers which is even, but 35 is odd, so no four consecutive whole numbers cannot add up to 35.
What are two consecutive numbers that add up to 600?
The sum of consecutive integers will always be odd. Consecutive odd numbers will be even. 299 + 301 = 600
