You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You can use x, x+2, x+4, ... for even integers as well (with the condition that x is even -- if you obtain an odd value for x, ignore it).

The more general way to put it is 2x, 2x+2, ... for even integers and 2x+1, 2x+3, ... for odd integers (since x can be *any* integer now).
