Let x = integer
\n" ); document.write( "Let x+2 = consecutive even integer
\n" ); document.write( "Now, the sum of the larger and three times the smaller is 234. So the equation then becomes:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x%2B2%29%2B3x=234\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4x%2B2=234\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4x=234-2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=232%2F4\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=58\"$ <--- this is your smaller integer
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2B2=58%2B2=60\"$ <--- this is the consecutive even integer.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Check: Remember the original equation
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x%2B2%29%2B3x=234\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%2858%2B2%29%2B3%2A58=234\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"60%2B174=234\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"234=234\"$
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Done! :)
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
