The sum of four consecutive odd integers is -72. Write an equation and find the values of the 4 integers.
I think that the equation is -x-x-x-(-x+1). So far that's where I'm am. Am I on the right track?

The easy way to solve this tye of problem is to simply divide -72 by 4 = -18 making the 4 numbers -15, -17, -19 and -21.
The algebraic way is to write x + (x+2) + (x+4) + (x+6) = -72.
