How do you find that out?

Answer 3

@mainaknag and others.

I strongly encourage you not to give answers like that without explaining. Even better, show the questioner the first steps towards the answer.

Answer 4

lets call the 1st integer n, so the next integer will be n+1, so n+(n+2)=226

so 2n+2=226, 2n=224, so n=112, but we want the larger one, n+2=114

Answer 5

i meant to say lets call the 1st even integer n, and the next even integer n+2*
