Find three consecutive positive even integers such that the product of the second and third integers is twenty more than ten times the first integer.
Let x be the smallest of the three consecuticve even integers. Then the second and third integers are x+2 and x+4 respectively.
Then we have:
(x+2)*(x+4) = 10*x + 20
Solve the above for x and then calculate x+2 and x+4.
