Don't tell me, let me guess. You have to find the integers! right?

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

Let the first number be x. So the next even number is x + 2.
So their sum is
x + (x+2) = 814
=> 2x + 2 = 814
=> 2x = 812
=> x = 406
So the first number is 406 and the next numbr is 406+2 = 408

Answer 5

So your numbers are 406 and 408. :)
