n is any integer.
Your integers begin as 2n and 2n+2.

SUM:
Difference Description:
FULL DESCRIPTION:

Impossible because false statement.
The description needs to be better.

Maybe the difference description part should be .
The equation for the full description would be ;
Maybe this would be workable.

This still will not work, because your 2n and 2n+2 are NOT INTEGERS.

Find 2 consecutive even integers such that their sum is equal to the difference of 3 times the larger and 2 times the smaller
(This is let statements) 
Let the smaller integer be S

Then larger integer is: S + 2

From the description, we get: S + S + 2 = 3(S + 2) - 2S

Solve this equation to determine the value of S, the smaller integer

Add 2 to this smaller integer to get the larger integer

You should get:
