Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

26, 28



Discussion:

Let x be the smaller even integer. Then (x+2) is the next even integer and

x + ( x + 2)  = 54              => combine like terms

2x + 2 = 54                      => subtract 2 from each side

2x = 54 - 2 =>

2x = 52      =>

x = 26


Thank you,

MrB
