Let the two consecutive even integers be n,n+2
\n" ); document.write( "As the larger, added to eight times the smaller, equals 110, we have
\n" ); document.write( "n + 2 + 8n = 110
\n" ); document.write( "Solving for n, we obtain:
\n" ); document.write( "9n + 2 = 110
\n" ); document.write( "9n = 108
\n" ); document.write( "n = 12
\n" ); document.write( "So the two consecutive even integers are 12 and 14.
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
