    Let the smallest number = x

    The 2nd even number would be x + 2

    4 times the first = 4x

    3 times the second = 3 (x+2)

    Set them to equal each other and solve:

    4x = 3 (x+2)

    Simplify:

    4x = 3x + 6

    Subtract 3x from each side:

    x = 6

    The smallest number is 6

    The second number is 6+2 = 8

    The two numbers are 6 and 8
