Let's have x be one even number and x+2 be the other even number. Now we can set up this equation:
x + (x+2)=74
Combine like terms and subtract 2 to get:
2x=72
Divide by 2:
x=36 Now we know the two number are:
36 & 38

Answer:
36 and 38
Step-by-step explanation:
because
let the 2 no.s be x and x+2
therefore from question x+x+2=74
2x+2=74
2(x+1)=74
x+1=37
x=36
therefore first no. is 36
and second no.is x+2
therefore second no. is 38
