The greater of two consecutive even integers is six less than twice the smaller.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = smaller of two consecutive even integers
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "x+2 = larger of two consecutive even integers
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Then, from:\"greater of two consecutive even integers is six less than twice the smaller\" we get
\n" ); document.write( "x+2 = 2x-6
\n" ); document.write( "2 = x-6
\n" ); document.write( "8 = x (smaller integer)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "larger integer:
\n" ); document.write( "x+2 = 8+2 = 10
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "The two integers are 8 and 10.
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
