Let x=the smaller integer\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then let x+2=the next integer\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "IF the sum of the squares of two consecutive positive even integers is 340, then:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2%2B%28x%2B2%29%5E2=340\"
