Let x, x+2, x+4, x+6 be the 4 consecutive even intergers.
\n" ); document.write( "(x+6)/2=x-5
\n" ); document.write( "x+6=2(x-5)
\n" ); document.write( "x+6=2x-10
\n" ); document.write( "x-2x=-10-6
\n" ); document.write( "-x=-16
\n" ); document.write( "x=16 answer.
\n" ); document.write( "Proof:
\n" ); document.write( "(16+6)/2=16-5
\n" ); document.write( "22/2=11
\n" ); document.write( "11=11 \n" ); document.write( "
