let two consecutive even integers be x and x%2B2 (larger)
if the smaller added to twice the larger gives a sum of 94, then we have:
x%2B2%28x%2B2%29=94
x%2B2x%2B4=94
3x%2B4=94
3x=94-4
3x=90
highlight%28x=30%29.......smaller
highlight%28x%2B2=32%29........larger

check:
30%2B2%2A32=94
30%2B64=94
94=94
