Answer:

100

102

Explanation:

Let the first even number be 2x

Let the next even number be 2x + 21/5 *(2x) + 2/3 (2x + 2) = 882/5 *x + 4/3 (x) + 4/3 = 88

Multiply by 15 to get rid of the fractions.2*3 x + 20x + 20 = 88 * 156 x + 20x + 20 = 1320 26x + 20 = 132026x = 1300x = 1300/26x = 502x = 1002x + 2 = 1021/5 * 100 = 202/3 * 102 = 34*2 = 6820 + 68 = 88
