mark me please

Step-by-step explanation:

If the lesser of two consecutive even integers is tripled, the result is 20 more than twice the grater integer. find the two integers

let the numbers be x & x+2

3x=20+2(x+2)

3x=20+2x+4

3x-2x=24

x=24

The integers are 24 & 26

Answer 2

Answer: 24, 26

Step-by-step explanation:

a=first even number. b=second even number

a=b-2

a*3=b*2+20

(b-2)*3=2b+20

3(b-2)=2b+20

3b-6=2b+20

b-6=20

b=26

a=b-2

a=26-2

a=24

24, 26
