Problem Solving Using Equations

Consecutive numbers are numbers in counting order such as 3, 4, 5. Beginning with an even integer and counting by two gives consecutive even integers. For example -6, -4, -2, 0, 2, 4, are consecutive even integers. Beginning with an odd integer and counting by two gives consecutive odd integers. For example -3, -1, 1, 3, 5 are consecutive odd integers.
