Answer:

Let the first number = x
Therefore, the other number = x + 2 (x+2 is so as in two consecutive even numbers there is 1 odd number)
Now, According to question
x + x + 2 = 122
2x + 2 = 122
2x = 122-2
2x = 120
x = 120/2
x = 60
Now, first no. = x = 60
Therefore, second no. = x + 2 = 60 + 2 = 62
Equation 60 + 62 = 122

Answer:

The numbers are : 60 , 62

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two consecutive even numbers be 2x , 2x + 2

2x + 2x + 2 = 122

Combine like terms

4x + 2 = 122

Subtract 2 from both sides

4x = 122 - 2

4x = 120

x = 120/4

x = 30

2x = 2*30 = 60

2x + 2 = 2*30 + 2 = 60 + 2 = 62

I cant really show you how to graph this but i can try to explain it. you would make a 4 quadrant graph and do rise over run.
1)start by making the graph
2) on the line of the graph marked Y is where you would put -4
3) From -4, you would go up (rise) by 2 and go over to the right 1 where you end is the slop
