\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 1. Let n be an even integer, n+2, n+4, and n+6 be the next three consecutive integers.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 2. Then n+n+2+n+4+n+6=308 as given by the problem statement where the sum of the four consecutive integers equal to 308.\r

DETAILED EXPLANATION

\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"n%2Bn%2Bhighlight_red%28+2+%29%2Bn%2Bhighlight_red%28+4+%29%2Bn%2Bhighlight_red%28+6+%29=308\".
Added fractions or integers together
It becomes \"n%2Bn%2Bhighlight_green%28+12+%29%2Bn%2Bn=308\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"n%2Bn%2Bhighlight_red%28+12+%29%2Bn%2Bn=308\".
Moved \"12\" to the right of expression
It becomes \"n%2Bn%2Bn%2Bn%2Bhighlight_green%28+12+%29=308\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at .
Eliminated similar terms \"highlight_red%28+n+%29\",\"highlight_red%28+n+%29\",\"highlight_red%28+n+%29\",\"highlight_red%28+n+%29\" replacing them with \"highlight_green%28+%281%2B1%2B1%2B1%29%2An+%29\"
It becomes \"highlight_green%28+%281%2B1%2B1%2B1%29%2An+%29%2B12=308\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at .
Added fractions or integers together
It becomes \"%28highlight_green%28+4+%29%29%2An%2B12=308\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"highlight_red%28+%28highlight_red%28+4+%29%29%2An+%29%2B12=308\".
Remove unneeded parentheses around factor \"highlight_red%28+4+%29\"
It becomes \"highlight_green%28+4+%29%2An%2B12=308\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"4%2An%2B12=highlight_red%28+308+%29\".
Moved these terms to the left \"highlight_green%28+-308+%29\"
It becomes \"4%2An%2B12-highlight_green%28+308+%29=0\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"4%2An%2Bhighlight_red%28+12+%29-highlight_red%28+308+%29=0\".
Added fractions or integers together
It becomes \"4%2An%2Bhighlight_green%28+-296+%29=0\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"4%2An%2Bhighlight_red%28+-296+%29=0\".
Removed extra sign in front of \"-296\"
It becomes \"4%2An-highlight_green%28+296+%29=0\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"highlight_red%28+4%2An-296+%29=0\".
Solved linear equation \"highlight_red%28+4%2An-296=0+%29\" equivalent to 4*n-296 =0
It becomes \"highlight_green%28+0+%29=0\".
Result: \"0=0\"
