Let the numbers be x and x+2.
As per given condition:-
x (x+2) = 120
x^2 +2x - 120 = 0
x^2 +12x-10x -120 = 0
x (x+12) -10 (x+12) = 0
(x+12)(x-10) = 0
x = -12 & 10
When x = -12
The numbers are
x = -12 &
x +2 = -12+2
= -10
When x = 10
Then numbers are
x = 10
x+2 = 12

Answer:
10 , 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the two consecutive even numbers be (x+2) and (x+4).
Now,
According to the question,
(x+2)(x+4) = 120
x² + 4x + 2x + 8 = 120
x² + 6x + 8 - 120 = 0
x² + 6x - 112 = 0
By splitting the middle term,
x² + 14x - 8x -112 = 0
x (x+14) -8 (x+14) = 0
(x+14)(x-8) = 0
x = -14 and x = 8
Therefore,
the numbers are 10 and 12.
