(x + 4) (x + 2)
=x^2 +2x + 4x + 8
=x^2 + 6x + 8
the other factor is (x + 2)
If x is the first of the integers then the statement is:
(x) , (x+2) , (x+4) , (x+6)
This means that the smallest is x and the largest is x + 6
so:
3(x) + 2(x+6) = 293
3x + 2x + 12 = 293
5x = 281
x = 56.2
This gives us a none integer (decimal)
What now?
Wait remember how x started as the lowest? what if x was the highest instead?
x, x-2, x-4, x-6
so:
3(x-6) + 2(x) = 293
5x = 315
x = 62.2
This is as close as have gotten to the answer
Cant seem to get an integer.
Maybe error in the question or some bad math on my part.

Answer:
Gabriel needs to have $3.75 for sales tax.
Step-by-step explanation:
A sales tax rate of 6.25% means that 6.25 cents is going to be charged for tax for each dollar you spend. (Because 6.25% of $1.00 is 6.25 cents.)
If he was spending $10, the sales tax would be 62.5 cents (6.25 cents per dollar x 10 dollars). Since he is spending $60 on this item, the equation would be (6.25 cents per dollar x 60 dollars) (6.25 cents x 60 = 375 cents).
And 375 cents equals $3.75.
