Not hard! Just write an equation for what it says.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"three consecutive even integers \"
\n" ); document.write( "n, (n+2), (n+4)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"the sum of the smaller two is equal to six more then the largest one.\"
\n" ); document.write( "n + (n+2) = (n+4) + 6
\n" ); document.write( "combine like terms
\n" ); document.write( "2n + 2 = n + 10
\n" ); document.write( "2n - n = 10 -2
\n" ); document.write( "n = 8, 10, 12 are the integers.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "You can confirm this in the statement:
\n" ); document.write( "\" the sum of the smaller two is equal to six more then the largest one. \"\r
