Answer:

The smallest number is 88

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the first consecutive even number

x+2 --->the second consecutive even number

we know that

The linear equation that represent this problem is given by

x+(x+2)=178

solve for x

2x=178-2\\2x=176\\x=88

so

x=88\\x+2=88+2=90

therefore

The smallest number is 88
