If you're adding two consecutive EVEN numbers, the sum of those two numbers would NEVER end in an odd number like 7.

SO, the answer to your question would be:
THERE IS NO SOLUTION

But, in case you want to know the method of solving a problem like this, I'll solve it saying that the sum is 218

there are two numbers:
#1=x
#2=x+2 because it's a consecutive EVEN number

add the two and you'll get the sum which is 218
x+(x+2)=218
2x+2=218 <--subtract 2 from both sides
(2x+2)-2=(218)-2
2x=216 <--divide both sides by 2
=
x=108
x+2=110
