Let's call the first consecutive even integer: n Then, the second consecutive even integer would be: n + 2 So, from the information in the problem we can now write and solve: 5 n = 4 ( n + 2 ) 5 n = ( 4 × n ) + ( 4 × 2 ) 5 n = 4 n + 8 − 4 n + 5 n = − 4 n + 4 n + 8 ( − 4 + 5 ) n = 0 + 8 1 n = 8 n = 8 Therefore the first even integer is: n The second consecutive even integer is: n + 2 = 8 + 2 = 10 5 ⋅ 8 = 40 4 ⋅ 10 = 40
