Find three consecutive even integers such that four times the first minus the third is six more than twice the second.
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "Note: Even numbers are always a multiple of 2.
\n" ); document.write( "You must represent them as multiples of 2.
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "1st: 2x
\n" ); document.write( "2nd: 2x+2
\n" ); document.write( "3rd: 2x+4
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "4(2x)-(2x+4) = 2(2x+2)+6
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "6x-4 = 4x+10
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 14
\n" ); document.write( "x = 7
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "1st: 2x = 14
\n" ); document.write( "2nd: 2x+2 = 16
\n" ); document.write( "3rd: 2x+4 = 18
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
