The sum of two consecutive integers can not be even unless both are even or both are odd.
x+y=70
y=4+2x
x+(4+2x)=70
4+3x=70
3x=70-4
3x=66
x=22
y=70-22
y=48
The two numbers are 22 and 48. 22 is the smaller.

The sum of two consecutive odd numbers is 100 What is the smaller number?
The two numbers can be thought of as: Smaller Odd Number = x + 1 (Add one to ensure it is an odd number) Larger Consecutive Odd Number = Smaller Number + 2 = x + 1 + 2 = x + 3 We know that Smaller Odd Number + Larger Consecutive Odd Number = 100 (X + 1) + (x + 3) = 100 2x + 4 = 100 2x = 96 x = 48 Smaller Odd Number = 48 + 1 = 49 The smaller odd number is 49. The next consecutive odd number of course is 51.
The sum of two consecutive numbers is 22 Let x equals the smaller number Which let statement would you use for the larger number?
L = 22 - x. There is no solution in integers for this statement: it is not possible in this Universe for two consecutive numbers to add to an even number. Nearest answer is 10½ and 11½.
The larger of two numbers is 8 more than 4 times the smaller if the larger number is increased by four times the smaller the result is 40?
The larger of two numbers is 8 more than 4 times the smaller if the larger number is increased by four times the smaller the result is 40. From this statement, we can calculate the values of the numbers where you get the value of the larger number to be 24 and that of the smaller number to be 4.

The next consecutive odd number of course is 51.
The sum of two consecutive even numbers is 38 What is the larger number?
For any number x, the next consecutive even number is (x+2).So when x + (x+2) = 382x + 2 = 382x = 36x = 18The smaller number is 18, and the larger number is 20.
