Question 236535: find two consecutive even integers such that twice the smaller is 26 less than three times the larger

LET X & X+2 BE THE 2 INTEGERS.
2X=3(X+2)-26
2X=3X+6-26
2X-3X=-20
-X=-20
X=20 ANS. FOR THE SMALLER INTEGER.
20+2=22 ANS. FOR THE LARGER INTEGER.
PROOF:
2*20=3*22-26)
40=66-26
40=40
