Question

If four times a certain even integer diminished by 16 is equal to twice its next consecutive even integer, how do you find the numbers?

Answer 1

I found `10 and 12`

Explanation:

call your even integer `2n` we can write:
`(4xx2n)-16=2(2n+2)`
So you get:
`8n-16=4n+4`
`4n=20`
`n=5`
So your ieven integers are:
`2n=2*5=10`
and:
`2n+2=10+2=12`
