\n" );
document.write( "Let x represent the smaller of the two consecutive even integers, (x+2) the other
\n" );
document.write( "Write as we Read***
\n" );
document.write( "6x = 4(x+2)
\n" );
document.write( "solve for x
\n" );
document.write( "6x = 4x + 8
\n" );
document.write( "2x = 8
\n" );
document.write( "x = 4
\n" );
document.write( "4 and 6 are the two consecutive even integers
\n" );
document.write( "checking our answer
\n" );
document.write( "6*4 = 4*6 = 24 \n" );
