Find two consecutive even numbers such that the sum of the smaller number and twice the greater number is 100

two consecutive even numbers:  2n and  2n+2

                                              2n+2(2n+2)=100

                                                  2n+4n+4=100

                                                            6n=100-4

                                                           6n=96

                                                            n=96/6

                                                            n=16

the smaller number:              2n=2(16) =32

the greater number:      2n+2=2(16)+2 =34

Ans.      32 and 34

the answer to this question is yes

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
