if the consecutive even integers are:
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x+\" and \"2x%2B2\" \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "then:
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x+%2B+5+=+%281%2F2%29%2A%282x%2B2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x+%2B+5+=+%28x%2B1%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x+=+x+-4\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x+-x+=+-4+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+-4\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x+=+-8\" (this is smaller eveninteger)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "\"%282x%2B2%29=+-6\" (this is greater even integer)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "since \"%281%2F2%29\" of \"-6\" is equal to \"-3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "then \"-%283%2B5%29=-8\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
