Here are your 4 consecutive even integers:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x
\n" ); document.write( "x + 2
\n" ); document.write( "x + 4
\n" ); document.write( "x + 6\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "=========================================
\n" ); document.write( "We now add them and equate the whole thing to 340. Then we solve for x.
\n" ); document.write( "By the way, you can use letter. I always use x, y or z because they are popular letters in algebra.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 = 340\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4x + 12 = 340\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4x = 340 - 12\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4x = 328\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = 328/4\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = 82\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "=========================================\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now that we know x, we plug that value of x into the 4 consecutive numbers given above and simplify (where needed).\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Here are the 4 numbers:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "82, 84, 86, 88 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
