x = first even number
x+2 = second even number, adjacent to, and to the right of x.
x+(x+2) = 2x+2 = sum of those values
2x+2 = -382
2(x+1) = -382
x+1 = -382/2
x+1 = -191
x = -191-1
x = -192
Or
2x+2 = -382
2x = -382-2
2x = -384
x = -384/2
x = -192
If x = -192, then x+2 = -192+2 = -190
Check:
(-192)+(-190) = -382
Answer:
-192 and -190
