The product of two consecutive even integers is 28 less than the square of larger number. Find the two integers.
\n" ); document.write( "I've written: $\"x%2Bx%2B2=%28x%2B2%29%5E2-28\"$
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "You have the sum on the left side, not the product.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2A%28x%2B2%29+=+%28x%2B2%29%5E2+-+28\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2%2B2x+=+x%5E2%2B4x%2B4+-+28\"$
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 24
\n" ); document.write( "x = 12
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "The numbers are 12 and 14.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
