Find two consecutive even integers whose product is 288

So I’m going to solve this using algebra OK?

So what you do is take the first integer as X.

Then we know that x (the first number) + X+2 (the second number) is 288 right?

So we solve that saying x+x+2=288.

So 2X+2=288

2X+2-2=288-2 right?

So 2X=286.

So x is 286/2 right?

So x is 143.

Now the first number is 143 right?

So the second number should be 143+2 so 145.

I know they are not even but these are the solutions.

I don’t think there are any consecutive even numbers that add up to 288
