I don't know what intergers are, so I will answer the question as if you asked about integers.

Let represent the smaller even integer. Then the next consecutive even integer must be . Twice the larger is then . Subtract the smaller is a difference of 10:



Solve the equation for to get the value of the smaller integer, and then add 2 to get the value of the larger one.
