Answer:

  12 and 14

Step-by-step explanation:

You want two consecutive even integers such that the lesser is five more than half the greater.

Setup

Let x represent the lesser of the integers. Then x+2 is the greater, and we can write the given relation as ...

  x = (x+2)/2 +5 . . . . . lesser is 5 more than half the greater

Solution

Multiplying by 2 gives ...

  2x = x +2 +10

  x = 12 . . . . . . . . subtract x

  x+2 = 14

The two integers are 12 and 14.
