Your problem has no solution as stated. If you have two consecutive integers, one of them must be odd and the other must be even in some order. The sum of an even number and an odd number must be odd -- but 146 is even.

Now if you meant two consecutive even integers, it would work out. But that isn't what you said, and I don't want to guess.
