Answer:

92 is the smaller even integer

Step-by-step explanation:

x = first even integer

x+2 = second even integer

(x) + (x+2) = 186

Combine like terms

2x+2 = 186

Subtract 2 from each side

2x+2-2 =186-2

2x = 184

Divide by 2

2x/2 = 184/2

x = 92

x+2 = 94

Step-by-step explanation:

let,two even consecutive number be x and x+2

now,according to the question

x+x+2=186

or, 2x=186-2

or, 2x= 184

or, x= 184/2

:- x= 92

Hence,

x=92 and x+2= 94

two even consecutive numbers are 92 and 94
