\n" ); document.write( "The integers are  x,  x+2,  x+4,  x+6  and  x+8,  where  x  is the smallest of them.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The equation to find  x  is\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x + (x+2) + (x+4) + (x+6) + (x+8) = -20.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Simplify and solve:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "5x + 20 = -20,\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "5x = -40,\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = -8.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Check.   -8 + (-6) + (-4) + (-2) + 0 = -20.\r
