one half of a certain even integer plus one fifth of the next consecutive even integer equals 48. Find the two integers.
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "NOte: All even integers are multiples of 2.
\n" ); document.write( "That is what makes them even.
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "1st even integer: 2x
\n" ); document.write( "2nd: next consecutive even integer 2x+2
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "(1/2)(2x) + (1/5)(2x+2) = 48
\n" ); document.write( "x + (2/5)x + (2/5) = 48
\n" ); document.write( "(7/5)x = 240/5
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "7x = 240
\n" ); document.write( "x = 240/7
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "2x is not an even integer
\n" ); document.write( "2x+2 is not an even integer
\n" ); document.write( "----
