Question 368788: Find two consecutive even integers such that the sum of the larger and twice the smaller is 62.

Let the first even integer be x.

The next consecutive even integer is therefore x+2.

So we are given:

(x+2)+2*x=62

x+2+2x=62

3x+2=62

3x=60

x=20

Therefore the two consecutive even integers are 20 and 22.

I hope this helps!
