(x−a)(x−b)(x−c)(x−d) = 9  x=2   x=2  (2−a)(2−b)(2−c)(2−d)=9  a,b,c,d are different integers  ⇒2−a,2−b,2−c,2−d are different integers.     • 9=1×−1×3×−3 [Order no matters]  2−a=1⇒a=1  2−b=−1⇒b=3  2−c=3⇒c=−1  2−d=−3⇒d=5  a+b+c+d=8✓

say a<b<c<d  (a−2)(b−2)(c−2)(d−2)=9  let p=a−2, q=b−2, r=c−2, s=d−2  a+b+c+d=p+q+r+s+8  pqrs=9  with p<q<r<s  only one possibility:  pqrs=(−3)(−1)(1)(3)=9  ⇒a+b+c+d=−3−1+1+3+8=8 ✓
