Answer:
Hence two consecutive even integers are 14 and 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x and x+2 be the two consecutive even integers
Then according to the given statement in the question
8x = 7(x+2)
Distributive property
8x=7x+14
Subtraction Property of Equality
8x-7x = 14+7x-7x
Simplifying
x = 14
So the first integer is 14 and second is:
x+2 = 14+2 = 16
Hence two consecutive even integers are 14 and 16 ..
