\n" );
document.write( "The sum of the squares of two consecutive positive even integers is 340.
\n" );
document.write( "Translate into an equation: 
\n" );
document.write( "  x^2 + (x+2)^2 = 340
\n" );
document.write( "   2x^2 + 4x - 336 = 0
\n" );
document.write( "   x^2 + 2x - 168 = 0
\n" );
document.write( "   (x+14)(x-12) = 0,  x = 12 (throwing out negative solution)
\n" );
document.write( "The two consecutive positive even integers are 12, 14 \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
