Answer:
20 and 22
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the smaller number be n.
Being consecutive even numbers, the other one is n+2.
The statement says
2/5 of smaller = (2/11 of larger) + 4
=> 2n / 5 = 2 ( n+2 ) / 11 + 4
=> 22n = 10 ( n + 2 ) + 220 (multiplied by 55 to get rid of fractions)
=> 12n = 240
=> n = 20
That's the smaller. The other one is n + 2 = 22.
