Thus we have 2n*(2n+2) = 360.We could solve for n now, but we are not interested in n we need to know, what 2n equals. So we'll make substitution 2n = x, concluding with x*(x+2)=360. This can be easily solved for x, which yields two solutions 18 and -20. By adding +2 we have second numbers 20 and -18.<BR>\n" );
