Question 253165
    find two consecutive even integers if one-third of the smaller one is equal to one-fourth of the larger one
.
Let x = smaller consecutive even integer
then
x+2 = larger consecutive even integer
.
1/3(x) = 1/4(x+2)
Multiply both sides by 12:
4x = 3(x+2)
4x = 3x+6
x = 6 (smaller integer)
.
Larger integer:
x+2 = 6+2 = 8
.
Solution: 6 and 8
