Find two consecutive even integers such that five times the first equals ten more than three times the second.
\n" ); document.write( "Our 2 integers will be;
\n" ); document.write( "x, x+2
\n" ); document.write( "Now 5 times the first;
\n" ); document.write( "5x=
\n" ); document.write( "10 more than 3 times the second;
\n" ); document.write( "3(x+2)+10
\n" ); document.write( "So we have;
\n" ); document.write( "5x=3(x+2)+10
\n" ); document.write( "5x=3x+6+10
\n" ); document.write( "5x-3x=16
\n" ); document.write( "2x=16
\n" ); document.write( "x=8
\n" ); document.write( "Hope you understand
\n" ); document.write( "=) \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
