Let x be the smaller number,

so, the larger number will be (x + 2),

and, sum of these two consecutive even number is x + (x + 2)

If the sum is 86, it will get

x + (x + 2) = 86

Solve the equation,
2x + 2 = 86
2x = 86 - 2
2x = 84
so, x = 42.

The smaller number is 42 and the larger number is 44.

equation:

let the smaller number be x

x+x+2=86
..2x+2=86
......2x=84
........x=42

the larger number is _44_

the smaller number is_42_

let the smaller number be x
x+x+2=86
2x+2=86
2x=84
x=42
so the smaller number is 42 and the larger number is 44.
