    Okay lets create an eqn from that information

    A first int, B second int, C third int, D fourth int.

    B = A + 2

    C = A + 4

    D = A + 6

    A is the smallest integer

    B + D = 0.5 (A + C)

    Now lets substitute

    (A + 2) + (A + 6) = 0.5 (A + (A + 4))

    now lets dist

    2a + 8 = 0.5 (2a + 4)

    2a + 8 = a + 2

    a + 8 = 2

    a = - 6

    B = - 6 + 2

    B = - 4

    C = - 6 + 4

    C = - 2

    D = - 6 + 6

    D = 0

    Now using B + D = 0.5 (A + C)

    -4 + 0 = 0.5 (-6 + (-2))

    -4 = 0.5 (-8)

    -4 = - 4

    Correct

    Therefore, First integer is - 6, second integer is - 4, third integer is - 2 and fourth integer is 0
