To find three concecutive even integers, we can say:
\n" ); document.write( "x = integer
\n" ); document.write( "x+2 = next consecutive even integer
\n" ); document.write( "x+4 = next to previous consecutive even integer
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "So, the equation would then be:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%28x%2B%28x%2B4%29%29=%28x%2B2%29%28x%2B4%29-22\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now workout the algebra to solve for x. Once you do that, you'll now which two even consecutive numbers are the other two.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Remember to check your answer by substituting the x value in the original equation. Both sides of the equation must equal to each other. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
