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.
