Answer:

102

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know that the numbers are two consecutive even numbers, we can write an equation like this where n represents the 2 numbers.

n + (n+2) = 206

Simplify the left side:

n + (n+2) = 206 -----> 2n+2 = 206

Subtract 2 from both sides:

2n = 206-2 -----> 2n = 204

Now divide 204 by 2:

n = 204/2 -----> n = 102
