Three consecutive EVEN integers are best defined as:
\n" ); document.write( "x,
\n" ); document.write( "x+1, and
\n" ); document.write( "x+2.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "3x-14 = x+2
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 16
\n" ); document.write( "x = 8
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "3x-14 = 24-14 = 10
\n" ); document.write( "x+2 = 10
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "The three consecutive integers are 8, 9, and 10.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Done. \n" ); document.write( "
