First integer = x
\n" ); document.write( "Second integer = x + 2
\n" ); document.write( "3(x) + 3(x + 2) = 62 - 8
\n" ); document.write( " 3x + 3x + 6 = 54
\n" ); document.write( " 6x = 54 - 6
\n" ); document.write( " 6x = 48
\n" ); document.write( " x = 8
\n" ); document.write( "First integer = 8
\n" ); document.write( "Second integer = 10
\n" ); document.write( "Proof:
\n" ); document.write( "3(x) + 3(x + 2) = 62 - 8
\n" ); document.write( "3(8) + 3(8 + 2) = 54
\n" ); document.write( " 24 + 30 = 54
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps.
