Let the first of the four consecutive integers be represented by n, then the other three can be (n + 1), (n + 2) and (n + 3)
Then we have, n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) + (n + 3) = -142
which simplifies to, 4n + 6 = -142
so, 4n = -142 - 6 = -148........n = -148/4 = -37
The four integers are thus, -37, -36 (-37 + 1), -35 (-37 + 2) and -34 (-37 + 3)
and we have, -37 +(-36) + (-35) + (-34) = -142

There are four consecutive odd integers: 81, 83, 85 and 87.
The integers are -92, -91, -90 and -89.
The integers are 51, 53, 55 and 57.
There are no two consecutive whole numbers that sum to 142.With two consecutive whole numbers, one is even and the other odd, and their sum will be odd, but 142 is even.Two consecutive even numbers that sum to 142 are 70 and 72.
