this is true for any pair of consecutive even (or odd) integers\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "let x=smaller, so x+2=larger\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"the sum of two consecutive even integers\" __ x+(x+2) __ 2x+2\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"is\" __ =\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2 more than twice the smaller integer\" __ 2(x)+2 __ 2x+2\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2x+2=2x+2 is true for ANY value of x
