Two consecutive even integers are such that their sun is greater than 98 decreased by twice the larger. Find the smallest possible values for the integers
let the first integer be x, the second is then x+2 sum: x+(x+2)=2x+2 twice the larger one: 2(x+2) 2x+2>98-2(x+2) 2x+2>-2x+94 4x>92 x>23 The smallest possible even integer larger than 23 is 24, and the second even integer is 26
