Two consecutive even numbers can be defined as:
\n" ); document.write( "x
\n" ); document.write( "x+2
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "x*(x+2) = 5*x +28
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 +2x =5x + 28
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 -3x -28 = 0
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "factor
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "(x-7)(x+4) = 0
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "x = 7 or x = -4
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "So, there are no two consecutive even integers whose product is 28 more than 5 times the smaller.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Done.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
