HI,
\n" ); document.write( "*Note: consecutive even integers differ by 2
\n" ); document.write( "Let x and (x+2) represent the two integers
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Write as You Read
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%281%2F2%29x+%2B+%281%2F5%29%2A%28x%2B2%29+=+48\"$
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "simplify and solve
\n" ); document.write( "Mutiplying each term on both sides of equation by 10
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5x+%2B+2%2A%28x%2B2%29+=+480\"$
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( " $\"7x+%2B+4+=+480\"$
\n" ); document.write( " x = 68
\n" ); document.write( "(x=2) = 70
