Let $\"x\"$ be the larger even integer. The previous even integer would have been
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x-2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "We know that $\"%28x-2%29%2B3x=30\"$ , so
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x-2%29%2B3x=30\"$ --> $\"4x-2=30\"$ --> $\"4x=32\"$ --> $\"x=8\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The even integers are 6 and 8
\n" ); document.write( "Checking: $\"6%2B3%2A8=6%2B24=30\"$
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
