Find two consecutive even integers
\n" ); document.write( "x, (x+2)
\n" ); document.write( "one-third of the smaller number is equal to one-fourth of the largest integer.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1%2F3\"$ x = $\"1%2F4\"$ (x+2)
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by 12
\n" ); document.write( "4x = 3(x+2)
\n" ); document.write( "4x = 3x + 6
\n" ); document.write( "4x - 3x = 6
\n" ); document.write( "x = 6 and 8 are the integers
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
