find four consecutive odd integers such that the sum of the least integer and greatest integer is 164

Start by dividing 164 by 2.

Can you figure it out from there?
I need help on that problem. Do you think you could help?
x+1=the least
x+3=the first
x+5=the second
x+7=the third

x+1+x+3+x+5+x+7=0
4x+16=0
4x=0-16
4x=-16
Then divide all sides by four (4) for x to stand on its own

After that, it will be
x=-4

x+1=-3
x+3=-1
x+5=1
x+7=3

So the four odd integers are: -3, -1, 1, 3
