4+(6+6)

All these Words in mathematics are represented by an equation. Write and solve it to find those integers.

If the first integer is x, the second one will be x + 2 (since consecutive even integers differ by 2). So we have:

x + 2(x +2) = 16

x + 2x + 4 = 16

3x + 4 = 16 subtract 4 from both sides

3x = 12 divide by 3 both sides

x = 4

Thus the integers are 4 and 6.
