Hi !!
Let the two consecutive positive even integers be x and x+2
given ,
x² + (x+2)² = 340
x² + x² + 4x + 4 = 340
2x² + 4x + 4 - 340 = 0
2x² + 4x - 336 = 0 ----> dividing by 2
x² + 2x - 168 = 0
splitting the middle term,
x² +14x - 12x - 168
x(x + 14) - 12(x + 14)
(x+14) (x - 12)
x = 12
hence ,
the numbers are ,
x = 12
x + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14
12 and 14

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Solution :-
Let the two consecutive even numbers be x and x + 2.
According to the Question,
⇒ (x)² + (x + 2)² = 340
⇒ x² + ² + 4 + 4x = 340
⇒ 2x² + 4x - 336 = 0
⇒ x² + 2x - 168 = 0
⇒ x² + 14x - 12x - 168 = 0
⇒ x(x + 14) - 12(x + 14) =0
⇒ (x - 12) (x + 14) = 0
⇒ x = 12, - 14 (As x can't be negative)
⇒ x = 12
1st number = x = 12
2nd number = x + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14
Hence, the numbers are 12 and 14.
