Lets call the first integer $\"x\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "For the second integer to be a consecutive even interger it must be $\"x%2B2\"$ }\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " so far we have:
\n" ); document.write( "first interger = $\"x\"$
\n" ); document.write( "second interger = $\"x%2B2\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if given that the sum of $\"twice\"$ the $\"lesser\"$ and $\"three\"$ times the $\"greater\"$ is $\"66\"$ , we have\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x%2B3%28x%2B2%29=66\"$ ...............solve for $\"x\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x%2B3x%2B6=66\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"5x=66-6\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"5x=60\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=60%2F5\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=12\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "and, second one is $\"x%2B2=14\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
