Answer: 52 and 54

=====================================================

Work Shown:

x = some even integer

x+2 = next even integer after x

x+(x+2) = 2x+2 = sum of the consecutive even integers

2x+2 = 106

2x = 106-2

2x = 104

x = 104/2

x = 52

x+2 = 52+2 = 54

The two consecutive even integers are 52 and 54

Check: 52+54 = 106
