Define two integers,
\n" ); document.write( "N - first even integer
\n" ); document.write( "N+2 - second consecutive even integer
\n" ); document.write( "such that,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3%28N%2B2%29%2BN=54\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3N%2B6%2BN=54\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4N=48\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"N=12\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"N%2B2=14\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Check your answer.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3%2814%29%2B12=54\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"42%2B12=54\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"54=54\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Good answer.
\n" ); document.write( "The smaller even integer is 12, the larger even integer is 14.
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
