Three consecutive even integers are such that the square of the third is 100 more than the square of the second. Find the three integers.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = first consecutive even integer
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "x+2 = second consecutive even integer
\n" ); document.write( "x+4 = third consecutive even integer
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "(x+4)^2 = (x+2)^2 + 100
\n" ); document.write( "(x+4)(x+4) = (x+2)(x+2) + 100
\n" ); document.write( "x^2+8x+16 = x^2+4x+4 + 100
\n" ); document.write( "x^2+8x+16 = x^2+4x+104
\n" ); document.write( "8x+16 = 4x+104
\n" ); document.write( "4x+16 = 104
