Let n be a whole number.
\n" ); document.write( "Three consecutive even numbers are 2n, 2n+2, 2n+4.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The first and the third numbers are added and this sum is...?
\n" ); document.write( "\"%282n%29%2B%282n%2B4%29\" = .....?\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"-22%2B3%282n%2B2%29\", according to the phrase in the description.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The description about the numbers means, \"highlight%282n%2B2n%2B4=-22%2B3%282n%2B2%29%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for n and then evaluate each expression for the corresponding numbers.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
