2n = 1st even integer
2n + 2 = 2nd even integer

Product = 2n(2n + 2) = 4n^2 + 4n = 4(n^2 + n)
1520 = 4(n^2 + n)
1520/4 = 4(n^2 + n)/4
380 = n^2 + n
0 = n^2 + n - 380
0 = (n + 20)(n - 19)
n = -20, +19

Answer can not be negative so n = +19

2n = 2(19) = 38
2n + 2 = 2(19) + 2 = 40

ANSWER: the integers are 38 and 40

Find the smallest two consecutive even integers such that three times the smaller is at least 19 more than the sum of the two integers

Let x be the smallest number.
Let x + 2 be the other number (consecutive even integer)

Now to translate the rest;)
three times the smaller 3(x)
19 more -19
sum of the two integers - (x) +( x+2)

Pulling it together,
3x -19 = x + x +2
collect like terms
3x - 19 = 2x + 2
Put all the constants on one side by adding 19 to both sides.
3x - 19 +19= 2x + 2 + 19
3x = 2x +21
Subtract 2x from both sides to have all the x's on one side.
3x - 2x = 2x +21 - 2x
x = 21
The other number is 21 + 2, or 23
Check:three times the smaller = 3 x 21 = 63
sum of the two integers = 21 + 23 or 44
is 63 at least 19 more than 44

Find two consecutive even integers such that twice the smaller exceeds the larger by 18.

Let x be first (smaller) integer and y second (larger) integer.
  1. They are consecutive (and even) : y=x+2
  2. Twice the smaller exceeds the larger by 18: 2*x=y+18
  3. Substitute first equation into second: 2x=x+2+18
  4. 2x-x=2+18
  5. x=20
  6. y=x+2=22

These two numbers are 20 and 22.

Two consecutive even integers such that the smaller added to three times the larger gives a sum of 22

We'll call x the smaller integer and y the larger. So we know x+3y=22. We can rearrange this to say:
x=22-3y. Now we guess, I'll guess y=6, now we solve and get x=22-3(6)=4. 4 and 6 are two even consecutive integers! So the answer is 4 and 6.

Find three consecutive odd integers whose sum is 105

X + ( X + 2 ) + ( X + 4 ) = 105
3X + 6 = 105
3X = 105 - 6
3X = 99
X = 99/3
X = 33
So 33 + 35 + 37 = 105

What are the three consecutive integers whose sum is 378?

Let X be the lowest of the 3 integers
The sum of the 3 integers can be represented as X + (X+1) + (X+2).
Set this sum equal to 378 and solve for X.
X + (X+1) + (X+2) = 378
3X + 3 = 378
3X = 375
X = 125
Since X is the lowest of the 3 integers the other 2 will be X+1 and X+2 or 126 and 127.

Therefore, the answer is 125, 126 and 127
