Question 4048
Let x = the first even integer, then x+2 = the next consecutive even integer.

The sum:  x + x+2 = 86    Collect like-terms.
           2x + 2 = 86    Subtract 2 from both sides.
               2x = 84    Divide both sides by 2.
                x = 42.

  The two consecutive even integers are:  42 and 44.

 Check: 42 + 44 = 86
