let s = smaller even integer
let l = larger even integer
requirement states that 2 * s = l + 10
solving for l, we get l = 2*s -10
for any s, we should be able to calculate an l that meets the requirements.
for example we can take s = -4
then l = 2*(-4)-10.
making l = -18.
2 * (-4) = -8
-18 + 10 = -8
requirement is met.
works for positive even integers as well.
take s = 54
l = 2*54-10 = 108-10 = 98
2*54 = 108
98+10 = 108
as long as s is an even integer, l will be an even integer as well.
