x - y = 14
given the ratio x : y = 5 : 3
then let x = 5x and y = 3x, hence equation can be expressed as
5x + 3x = 56
8x = 56 ( divide both sides by 8 )
x = 7
Hence x = 5 × 7 = 35 and y = 3 × 7 = 21
Thus x - y = 35 - 21 = 14
Let n be the first even integer, and n+2 will be the second even integer. (Why? Think 2 and 4, 2+2=4. This is the case for every consecutive even integers).
n + 3(n+2) = 54
n + 3n + 6 = 54
4n = 48
n = 12, n+2 = 14
