---
y = x + 2
6x + y = 72
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
x - y = -2
6x + y = 72
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:

answer:
x= 10
y= 12
there do not appear to be two consecutive ODD integers that meet the given conditions, but there are two EVEN integers that do, as shown.
