Question 97853
The greater of two consective even integers is six less than twice the smaller.

 Solution:

 Let x be the first even interger
     x + 2 be the second even integer

The greater of two consective even integers is six less than twice the smaller.

      x + 2 = 2x - 6    
  x + 2 - x = 2x - x - 6
          2 = x - 6
      2 + 6 = x - 6 + 6 
          8 = x

Checking:

    if x = 8
   x + 2 = 8 + 2
         = 10
