Let's write an equation describing the problem.
Any even whole number may be represented by writing
in which 
is any non-negative integer.
It follows that for a even whole number the next (consecutive) even whole number can be written as 
.
We now need to solve the following equation:
If we solve for we get:
We have to values, as the equation is quadratic. We take the positive one as the correct one. So
, and if we plug in this value to and we know that the asnwer is 16 and 18.
