Question 159307
Let {{{n}}}= the smaller integer
Then {{{n + 2}}} will be the next even integer
{{{n = (n +2)/2 + 5}}}
Multiply both sides by {{{2}}}
{{{2n = n + 2 + 10}}}
{{{2n - n = 12}}}
{{{n = 12}}}
{{{n + 2 = 14}}}
The numbers are 12 and 14
check:
{{{n = (n +2)/2 + 5}}}
{{{12 = (12 + 2)/2 + 5}}}
{{{12 = 12}}}
OK
