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
