Answer:
-18, -20
Step-by-step explanation:
two consecutive even integers"
we can make those two numbers x and y
with y being two more than x ... (y = 2 + x)
so we have that
x + y = 38
which becomes
x + 2 + x = 38
we add like terms
2x + 2 = 38
subtract 2 from both sides
2x = 36
divide both sides by 2
x = 36 / 2 = 18
therefore our first number is 18
and our second number is two more than that, which is 20
