Answer:

144

Step-by-step explanation:

First: 6x

Second: 6x+6

Third: 6x+12

Fourth: 6x+18

- Since they're multiples of 6

[tex]6x+6x+6+6x+12+6x+18=540[/tex]

[tex]24x+36=540\\[/tex]

Subract 36 from each side give us...

[tex]24x=504\\x=21[/tex]

[tex]21(6)+18=144[/tex]

Hope this helped! Please mark brainliest :)
