\n" ); document.write( "1st even: 2x
\n" ); document.write( "2nd even: 2x+2
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equations:
\n" ); document.write( "(1/2)(2x) + (1/5)(2x+2) = 48
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru by 10 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "10x + 2(2x+2) = 480
\n" ); document.write( "14x + 4 = 480
\n" ); document.write( "14x = 476
\n" ); document.write( "x = 34
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "1st = 2x = 68
\n" ); document.write( "2nd = 2x+2 = 70
