Question 105677
The smaller of two consecutive even integers is one less than half of the greater.
x = first integer
since they are even consecutive, they are 2 numbers apart;
x+2 = second integer
=================================
{{{x-1=(1/2)(x+2)}}}
{{{x-1=(1/2)x+1}}}
{{{x-(1/2)x=2}}}
1/2x=2
x=4
========================
first integer = 4
second integer = 6
