Let the two consecutive even integers be x and x+2.
\n" ); document.write( "Given,one-third of the smaller one is equal to one-fourth of the larger one.
\n" ); document.write( " x/3 = (x+2)/4
\n" ); document.write( " 4x = 3(x+2)
\n" ); document.write( " 4x = 3x+6
\n" ); document.write( " x = 6
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore the two consecutive even integers are 6 and 8 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
