You have 2n and 2n+2, the consecutive even integers. You want to find the "is" for the description so you know what to equate.
three times the smaller one, ;
exceeds two times the larger one by 7, "exceeds... by 7";
.
The human subject+verb situation is, FirstDescribedNumber exceeds.
The whole description starts as .
Something is wrong with your problem description.
{{6n=4n+4+7}}}
-
First Number,
Second Number,
The problem description is wrong.

3*2n=2*(2n+2)+7
6n=4n+4+7
2n=11
2n+2=13
The numbers are 11 and 13
But they are not even.
check
3*11=2*13+7
33=26+7
33=33
ok
There was no need in this case to use 2n and 2n+2
n and n+2 will do nicely
3*n=2(n+2)+7
3n=2n+4+7
n=11
n+2=13
unfortunately the answers are odd and even answers don't exist
