Given:
Seven times the smaller of two consecutive even integers is the same as -300 minus 4 times the larger integer.
To find:
The integers .
Solution:
Let the smaller even integer be x.
So, larger even integer is x+2 because they are consecutive even integers.
Seven times the smaller integer = 7x
-300 minus 4 times the larger integer = -300-4(x+2)
Now,
Divide both sides by 11.
So, the smaller even integer is -28.
So, the larger even integer is -26.
Let us try and solve it analytically. We have that the side=x+3 together with the short side=s and the diagonal=x+4 satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem. Then we have that 
. This yields 
which yields s^2=2x+7, hence a) is the correct answer.
