Answer:
14 and 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the first integer is x,
the next integer = x + 2
Product = x*(x+2) = x²+2x = 224
x² + 2x - 224 = 0
(x-14)(x+16)=0
x = 14 or -16
ignoring the negative value,
x = 14
x+2 = 14+2 = 16
The numbers are 14 and 16

Integers Be Let the two Consecutive Positive Even :
- First No. = x
- Second No. = (x + 2)
A.T.Q
➟ (x) × (x + 2) = 224
➟ x² + 2x = 224
➟ x² + 2x - 224 = 0
➟ x² + 16x - 14x - 224 = 0
➟ x(x + 16) - 14(x + 16) = 0
➟ (x + 16)(x - 14) = 0
➟ (x + 16) = 0⠀⠀⠀ or, ⠀⠀⠀(x - 14) = 0
➟ x = -16 ⠀⠀or,⠀⠀x = 14
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
★ As We Are Talking about Positive Integers ; So we Will Take x = 14
- First No. = x = 14
- Second No. = (x + 2) = (14 + 2) = 16
