Answer:

The numbers are 12 and 14 ONLY

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer, set up an equation.

Set  

x

equal to the lower number, and  

x

+

2

as the higher number since they are consecutive even numbers so they are two apart.

Now write out the equation according to the question

(

x

)

2

(

x

+

2

)

)

=

x

=

−

14

,

12

x

=

12

because the answer must be positive according to the question.

That means  

x

2

is 14.

You can double check:

(

2

(

14

)

2

=

340

 

144

=

340

340

=

D.

Step-by-step explanation:
