<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


Let *[tex \Large x] represent the smaller of two consecutive even integers.  Then *[tex \Large x\ +\ 2] must represent the greater.  We are given that


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ x\ +\ 2\ =\ 2(x\ +\ 2)\ -\ 12]


Solve for *[tex \Large x], then calculate *[tex \Large x\ +\ 2]

*[tex \LARGE e^{i\pi}\ +\ 1\ =\ 0]
My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it

*[tex \Large \ \
