find the positive difference between to consecutive even integers such that 14 times the first is equal to 12 times the second
Answered by Steve
Huh? The difference between <u>any</u> two consecutive even integers is 2!

14(2k) = 12(2k+2)
28k = 24k+24
4k = 24
k = 6

the numbers are 12 and 14, so the difference is 2
