Heyy!! so basically we represent the first integer with y and the second even integer equal to y + 2
↓ Thus using this information we can complete a system of equations ↓

x + (x + 2) = 226 Combine like terms
2x + 2 = 226 Subtract 2 from both sides
2x = 224 Divide
x = 112

The two integers are 112 and 114. You can double check by them

112 + 114 = 226

Yeah it should be x + (x+1) = no?

A consecutive number is just +1 or -1 depending how you look at it. The problem is that when you get 2x + 1 = 226, simplified to 2x = 225, x = 225/2, which is not an integer. When I googled the question, it came up with 'even consecutive integers,' so I think the poster forgot that part.

It would make x + (x + 2) make sense.
