Some consecutive integers are: 1,2,3,4,5 or 33,34,35 Some consectutive even integers are: 2,4,6,8,10 or 18,20,22 To do this problem start with a statement: Let x be an integer such that x is even, then two consectutive even integers can be said to be (x), (x+2). Therefore x(x+2) = 120. So you need to find the two integers above, by first finding x.
