\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Twice the sum of two consecutive even numbers is \"52\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We can do this by letting the first number be \"2x\" instead of \"x\". What would the next consecutive even number be? Be careful. \"2x+%2B+1\" is not even.
\n" ); document.write( " So, our next numbers would be \"2x+%2B+2\" ,\"+2x+%2B+4\". \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Similarly, consecutive odd numbers would be of the form \"2x+%2B+1\", \"2x+%2B+3\", etc.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Twice the sum of two consecutive even numbers, \"2x\" and \"2x%2B2\" is \"52\":\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2%282x%2B%282x%2B2%29%29=52\"....solve for \"x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2%282x%2B2x%2B2%29=52\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2%284x%2B2%29=52\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"8x%2B4=52\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"8x=52-4\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"8x=48\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=48%2F8\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=6\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the first even number is \"2x\"=>\"2%2A6\"=>\"highlight%2812%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the second even number is \"2x%2B2\"=>\"2%2A6%2B2\"=>\"highlight%2814%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
