    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
