The difference of the squares of two positive consecutive even integers is 12. find the integers. use the fact that, if x represents an even integer, then x+2 represents the next consecutive even integer.

To solve the problem we must find the value of x using the following expression:
 (x + 2) ^ 2 - x ^ 2 = 12
 Resolving we have:
 (x ^ 2 + 4x + 4) - x ^ 2 = 12
 4x + 4 = 12
 x = (12-4) / 4
 x = 8/4
 x = 2
 the integers are:
 x + 2 = 2 + 2 = 4
 x = 2
 
 the integers are 4 and 2

Peanuts r great aren’t they it just has a good taste
