There is no solution to this problem.

$n + n + 2 + n + 4 + n + 6 = 46$ $n + n + 2 + n + 4 + n + 6 = 46$

$4 n + 12 = 46$ $4n + 12 = 46$

$4 n + 12 - 12 = 46 - 12$ $4n + 12 - 12 = 46 - 12$

$4 n + 0 = 34$ $4n + 0 = 34$

$4 n = 34$ $4n = 34$

$(4 n) 4 = \frac{34}{4}$ $(4n)4 = 34/4$

$n = 8.5$ $n = 8.5$

Because $n$ $n$ does not equal an integer there is no solution to this problem.
