some  of the answers are: 114,116,112,118

anonymous · Answer

1st even integer is x
Next even integer consecutively will be x + 2, right?
So... x + (x + 2) = 226 and you'll have your answer.

Or...you don't even really need algebra for this one. Just guess. Pick an even integer that is about half of 226 and then the next biggest even integer and add 'em  together. If not correct...slightly adjust.

Do you understand what "consecutive even integers" means? That's the first important thing to understand.

no

anonymous · Answer

44 and 46
86 and 88
2 and 4 
16 and 18
Each of those pairs are "consecutive even integers"
It just means 2 even integers that come right after each other in order.
