Sum of four consecutive integers

The sum of four consectutive integers is 62.  What are the four integers?

x = 1st integer
x + 1 = 2nd integer
x + 2 = 3rd integer
x + 3 = 4th integer 

x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 = 62   {the sum of four consecutive integers is 62}
4x + 6 = 62   {combined like terms}
4x = 56   {subtracted 6 from both sides}
x = 14   {divided both sides by 4}
x + 1 = 15 
x + 2 = 16
x + 3 = 17
