Answer:
In assumption, x is the smaller even integer and x+2 is the next so it will be larger.
The integers are 4 and 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the two consecutive even integers be x and x+2
Here x is the smaller even integer and x+2 is the next so it will be larger.
Now according to the given statement
Sum of both:
difference of 3 times the larger & 2 times the smaller:
Putting the sum and difference equal:
Solving the equation
The next integer will be:
Hence,
In assumption, x is the smaller even integer and x+2 is the next so it will be larger.
The integers are 4 and 6.
