Let x = integer
\n" ); document.write( "Let x+2 = consecutrive odd integer
\n" ); document.write( "Let x+4 = the next odd consecutive integer
\n" ); document.write( "If their sum is 10 less than 4 times the least integer,
\n" ); document.write( "the equation becomes: \"x%2B%28x%2B2%29%2B%28x%2B4%29=4x-10\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now solve for x to find the least integer.
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2B%28x%2B2%29%2B%28x%2B4%29=4x-10\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3x%2B6=4x-10\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3x-4x=-10-6\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-x=-16\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=16\" <--- this is the least integer
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
