Let the numbers be a and a + 2

According to question,

a + a + 2 = 214

=> 2a + 2 = 214

=> 2a = 212

=> a = 106

First number = 106

Second number = 108

Answer 2

Let the two consecutive even numbers be x+2 and x+4

Sum is 214

x+2+x+4=214

2x+6=214

2x=214-6

2x=208

x=208/2

x=104

So,The numbers are as follows....

x+2=104+2=106

x+4=104+4=108
