Answer:
[tex]32\ and\ 34.[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the smaller number.
The next even number will be (x + 2).
[tex]x+x+2=66[/tex]
[tex]2x+2=66[/tex]
Subtract 2 from both sides:
[tex]2x+2-2=66-2[/tex]
[tex]2x=64[/tex]
Divide both sides by 2:
[tex]\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{64}{2}[/tex]
[tex]x=32[/tex]
The smaller number is 32.
Larger number [tex]=32+2=34[/tex]
