Answer:
14,16
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the first even number.
Let y be the 2nd even number.
Given, y - x = 2 (Since they are 2 consecutive even numbers.)
rearranging the equation: y = x+2 (equation 1)
Also given,
(equation 2)
Now we can substitute equation 1 into equation 2 to find x.
Given the smaller even number x, is 14, we will substitute x into equation1 to find y, the bigger even number.
y = 14+2
= 16
Therefore the 2 numbers are 14 and 16.
