Five times the sum of the first and third of three consecutive even integers is ten more than the product of nine and the second integer. Find the third integer [i.e. the largest of the three].
---------------
1st: 2x
2nd: 2x+2
3rd: 2x+4
---------------
EQUATION:
5(2x + 2x+4) = 9(2x+2)+10
20x+20 = 18x+28
2x = 8
x = 4
----------
largest = 2x+4 = 12
