a) Define a variable for the smaller integer.
{{{highlight(x)=smaller}}}
b)What must you add to an even integer to get the next greater even integer?
{{{highlight(2)}}}, answer
c) Write an expression for the second integer
{{{highlight(x+2)}}}, answer
d)Write and solve an equation to find the two even integers.
{{{x+x+2=118}}}
{{{2x=118-2=116}}}
{{{cross(2)x/cross(2)=cross(116)58/cross(2)}}}
{{{x=58}}} ----------------------------> smaller integer
{{{58+2=60}}} ------------------------->next greater even integer
consecutive even integers, {{{sum=118}}} -------{{{system(58,60)}}}
