Question 846320: Find three consecutive positive even integers such that the product of the second and third integers is twenty more then ten times the first integer. Solve with an algebraic solution

consecutive even integers: (x-2), x, (x+2)

x(x+2) = 20 + 10(x-2)
x^2 + 2x = 10x
x^2 - 8x = 0
x(x - 8) = 0

x is positive, so the integers are 6, 8, and 10.
