If two consecutive numbers add up to 86 then we can set up an equation like this:

x=the first number

So it makes sense that

x+2=the second number (since the numbers are consecutive)

And you know the sum of the two is 86. So the resulting equation is

(x) + (x+2) = 86

=>

2x + 2 = 86

2x = 84

x = 42

So the two numbers are 42 and 44.

The sum of two consecutive even integers is 90.find the numbers?

Divide the sum of the two consecutive even integers by 2: 90/2 = 45. The smaller of these integers will be one less than 45 and the larger will be one more than 45, so the two consecutive even integers will be 44 and 46.
