    let x be the first integer

    x + 2 the second integer (two consecutive even)

    smaller integer added to three times the larger x + 3 (x+2)

    two less than five times the smaller 5x - 2

    x + 3 (x+2) = 5x - 2

    x+3x + 6 = 5x - 2

    x=8

    the first integer = 8

    the second is x+2 = 10
