\n" ); document.write( "1st number = x = some even integer
\n" ); document.write( "2nd number = x+2 = the even integer just after x
\n" ); document.write( "3rd number = x+4 = the even integer just after x+2
\n" ); document.write( "4th number = x+6 = the even integer just after x+4\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "One possible equation to form is
\n" ); document.write( "5(x + x+4) = 2(x+2 + x+6) + 9604
\n" ); document.write( "Pay attention to the color coding to see where all the expressions fit in.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The left side is of the form 5*(1st + 3rd)
\n" ); document.write( "The right side is of the form 2*(2nd + 4th) + 9604\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I'll let the student solve that equation for x.
