The product of two consecutive even integers
\n" ); document.write( "is 6 more than three times their sum.
\n" ); document.write( "find the integers
\n" ); document.write( "============================
\n" ); document.write( "1st: 2x
\n" ); document.write( "2nd: 2x+2
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "(2x)(2x+2) = 3(2x + 2x+2) + 6
\n" ); document.write( "4x^2+4x = 3(4x+2) + 6
\n" ); document.write( "4x^2+4x = 12x + 12
\n" ); document.write( "4x^2 - 8x -12 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 - 2x -3 = 3
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "(x-3)(x+1) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "x = 3 or x = -1
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Positive solution:
\n" ); document.write( "1st 2*3 = 6
\n" ); document.write( "2nd: 2x+2 = 8
\n" ); document.write( "===================
