<u>Define x:</u>
Let one of the numbers be x.
The other number is x + 2

<u>Construct equation:</u>
<span>twice the smaller is 16 more than the larger
</span>⇒2x = x + 2 - 16

<u>Solve x:</u>
2x = x + 2 - 16
x = -14

<u>Find the two numbers:</u>
Smaller number = x = -14
Larger number = x + 2 = -12

Answer: The two numbers are -14 and -12

Let's make an equation. X will be the smaller number while y is the bigger.
x+2=y; since they're consecutive even numbers. We will use that equation to represent y.
Twice the smaller; 2x
16 more than the larger; 16+x+2
2x=16+x+2; let's add like terms.
2x=18+x
Let's subtract x from both sides.
x=18
If the smaller number is 18, the bigger number is 20.

The two numbers are 18 and 20.

Kay [80]
Cot x = cos x csc x
1/tan x = cosx (1/sin x)
1/(sin x / cos x) = cos x / sin x
cos x / sin x = cos x / sin x

The domain of validity is all real number values of x except for sin x = 0.
