Two consecutive even integers, x, (x+2)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write an equation for exactly what it says
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "two consecutive even integers such that ten times the larger minus seven times smaller equals two times the sum of the integer.
\n" ); document.write( "10(x+2) - 7x = 2(x + x + 2)
\n" ); document.write( "10x + 20 - 7x = 2(2x + 2)
\n" ); document.write( "10x - 7x = 4x + 4 - 20
\n" ); document.write( "3x - 4x = -16
\n" ); document.write( "-x = -16
\n" ); document.write( "therefore
\n" ); document.write( "x = 16 and 18 are the two integers
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "See if that checks out
\n" ); document.write( "\"two consecutive even integers such that ten times the larger minus seven times smaller equals two times the sum of the integer.\"
\n" ); document.write( "10(18) - 7(16) = 2(16+18)
\n" ); document.write( "180 - 112 = 2(34)
\n" ); document.write( "68 = 68
