let x be the first even integer, then
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x, x+2, x+4 represent our three consecutive integers
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "we know that
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "2(x+4) = 3x + 2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "2x+8 = 3x + 2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x = 6
\n" ); document.write( ":
