Question

Tripling the greater of two consecutive even integers gives the same result as subtracting 10 from the lesser even integer what are the integers

Answer 1

Let the integers be x, (x+2)
:
3(x+2) = x - 10
3x + 6 = x - 10

3x - x = -10 - 6
2x = -16
x = -8

The integers: -8, -6

Check this (-6 is greater than -8)
3(-6) = -8 - 10
-18 = -18
