Answer:

14 and 16

Step-by-step explanation:

They are the ONLY  consecutive even numbers

And also

x and (x+2)

x(x+2)=224 ( product of a number and the consecutive of that number)

x ²+  2x-224=0

(x+16)(x-14) =0

x=-16 or 14

In this case 14 and (14+2)    14 and 16

 

 

The  integers are either 14 and 16 or -14 and -16.
