\n" ); document.write( "Hi,
\n" ); document.write( "Let x represent the smaller integer,
\n" ); document.write( "then (x+2) would be the larger of these consecutive even integers
\n" ); document.write( "x + (x + 2) = 118
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 2 = 118
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 120
\n" ); document.write( "x = 60, the smaller of these consecutive even integers
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
