Question 268191: Find two consecutive even integers such that the lesser added to three times the greater gives a sum of 46

The consecutive even numbers will be x, and x+2.
the lesser, or x, plus 3(x+2) equals 46
So x+3x+6=46
x+3x=40
4x=40
x=10
The consecutive numbers would be 10 and 12.
Hope this helped!
