First, understand that “consecutive multiples of 2” simply translates to “consecutive even numbers”. We can plug in x for the lesser value. Therefore:

x+(x+2) = 18 and

2x = 18–2 = 16 so therefore

x=8

If x=8, then the two numbers are 8 and 10. This is a good strategy for larger numbers as well, when it is harder to plug and chug

hope i helped
