The product of two consecutive even integers is 28 less than the square of larger number. Find the two integers.
I've written:x%2Bx%2B2=%28x%2B2%29%5E2-28
--------------------
You have the sum on the left side, not the product.
x%2A%28x%2B2%29+=+%28x%2B2%29%5E2+-+28
x%5E2%2B2x+=+x%5E2%2B4x%2B4+-+28
2x = 24
x = 12
------
The numbers are 12 and 14.
