Since every other number is an odd (starting from 1), we automatically could say x, x + 2, x + 4, x - 2, are the variables. Adding these together and setting it to 160 yields a linear equation:
x - 2 + x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 4x + 4 = 160
4(x + 1) = 160
x + 1 = 40
x = 39
Now plugging into the variables, we have:
x - 2 = 39 - 2 = 37
x = 39
x + 2 = 39 + 2 = 41
x + 4 = 39 + 4 = 43
Therefore, {37, 39, 41, 43} is the answer.

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 four consecutive numbers that add up to 10?
Four consecutive numbers adding up to ten are: 1+2+3+4
What are four consecutive numbers that add up to 230?
The numbers are 56, 57, 58, and 59.
What are four consecutive numbers that add up to 358?
The numbers are 88, 89, 90, and 91.
What are four consecutive numbers that add up to 268?
There are no such numbers. If S is the sum of any 4 consecutive integers then S = 2 (mod 4) In other words, any four consecutive integers add up to an even number that is NOT dvisible by 4.
