The sum of two consecutive even integers is 26. What are the two numbers? Choose the correct choice from the following:
A) 14
B) 15
C) 16
D) 17
E) 18
Solution   Let 2n be the first even integer and let 2n + 2 be the second integer   2n + 2n + 2 = 26   4n + 2 = 26   4n + 2 - 2 = 26 - 2   4n = 24   n = 6   So the first even integer is 2n = 2 × 6 = 12 and the second is  12 + 2=
