The only 5-digit numbers that do the job are 21,143 and 28,847 .
So, either
a = 1 and
b = 3
or
a = 8 and
b = 7 .
The sum of the values that 'a' can have is (1 + 7) = <em>8</em> .

Answer:
1.7
Step-by-step explanation:
Looking at the problem, you can come up with an equation for the consecutive numbers.

If we expand the second term:

Combine like terms:

You can reduce this by dividing both sides of the equation by two:

And we transpose 170 to get a standard quadratic form that the right side will be zero:

Then factor the left side:

Find out the values of x that makes each factor = 0
x + 14 = 0
x = -14
We can eliminate the negative symbol because the problem is asking for positive even integers.
and;
x - 12 = 0
x = 12
Now we can say that the first positive integer is 12 and the second one is 14
