Which of the following could represent consecutive even integers?

a. x + 1, x + 2

b. x + 1, x + 3

c. 2x, 2x + 1

Consecutive even integers are numbers that skips a number which is considered an odd number, In this case, if we represent the first even integer as x, then the next integer in line should be represented as x + 2. The answer to this problem should be equal to A

Only b. x+1, x+3 as long as x is an odd integer

a. x+1, x+2, wouldn't be consecutive even integers. If x is odd (e. g. 1), then 1+1=2 would be even but, 1+2=3 would be odd.

c. 2x, 2x+1, wouldn't be the answer. 2x will certainly be even but 2x+1 is going to be odd.
