Let x = the first number
\n" ); document.write( "Let x+2= the second number
\n" ); document.write( "(x)(x+2)=528 [Multiplying the consecutive even integers equals 528]
\n" ); document.write( "x^2+2x=528 [Solve for x using the quadratic formula]
\n" ); document.write( "x^2+2x-528=0
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "x=22 or x = -24
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Checking for x=22
\n" ); document.write( "(22)(22+2)=528
\n" ); document.write( "Checking for x=-24
\n" ); document.write( "(-24)(-24+2)=528 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
