for two consecutive even integers,
\n" ); document.write( "x, (x+2)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "the sum of the smaller and twice the larger is 58
\n" ); document.write( "x + 2(x+2) = 58
\n" ); document.write( "x + 2x + 4 = 58
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 58 - 4
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 54
\n" ); document.write( "x = 18 and 20 are the two consecutive even integers \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
