The two consecutive even numbers can be defined as: x and x+2.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "x*(x+2) = 224
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 +2x -224 = 0
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "factor
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "(x+16)(x-14) = 0
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "x = -16 or 14
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "So the two consecutive even integers are either 14 and 16 or -14 and -16.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Done. \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
