let the smallest of the odd integers be x
then the next 3 consecutive integers are
x+2,x+4, and x+6
5(x + x+2) = 7(x+2 + x+6) - 10
10x + 10 = 14x + 46
-4x = 36
x = -9
so the 4 integers are -9, -7, -5, and -3
check:
5times(sum of first two) = 5(-9 -7) = -80
7times(sum of 2nd and 4th) = 7(-7 -3) = -70
Is -80 ten less than -70? YES
