So I’m going to solve this using algebra OK? So what you do is take the first integer as X. Then we know that x(the first number) + X+2(the second number) is 288 right? So we solve that saying x+x+2=288. So 2X+2=288 2X+2-2=288-2 right? So 2X=286. So x is 286/2 right? So x is 143. Now the first number is 143 right? So the second number should be 143+2 so 145. I know they are not even but these are the solutions. I don’t think there are any consecutive even numbers that add up to 288
