You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let the two integers be (x*2) and (x*2+2)
\n" ); document.write( "This is because any number multiplied by two becomes an even number,and adding two makes the second number even as well.
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "Now from the question,
\n" ); document.write( "(x*2+2)+2*(x*2)=62
\n" ); document.write( "2x+2+2(2x)=62
\n" ); document.write( "2x+4x+2=62
\n" ); document.write( "6x=62-2
\n" ); document.write( "6x=60
\n" ); document.write( "x=10
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "First number=(x*2)=20
\n" ); document.write( "Second number=20+2=22
\n" ); document.write( "
