Answer:

four consecutive integers are

3,4,5,6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x, x+1, x+2 and x+3 are the four consecutive positive integers

greatest integer is x+3

least integer is x

the greatest integer in the set is twice the least integer

[tex]x+3=2x[/tex]

subtract x from both sides

[tex]3=x[/tex]

the value of x is 3

x+1 is 4

x+2 is 5

x+3 is 6

so four consecutive integers are

3,4,5,6
