Six times the lesser of the two consecutive even integers is 4 times the greater even integer. What are the integers?

Sagot :

Answer:

Integers are 4 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two consecutive even integers be [tex]x,x+2[/tex] such that [tex]x<x+2[/tex]

Six times the lesser of the two consecutive even integers is 4 times the greater even integer.

So,

[tex]6x=4(x+2)\\6x=4x+8\\6x-4x=8\\2x=8\\x=4[/tex]

Other integer [tex]=x+2=4+2=6[/tex]
