Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y

2 consecutive even nos.

therefore y = x+2

twice of the first (2x) is 46 more than y

2x = y+46

Solving both the equations

x - y + 2 = 0

(-)2x - y - 46 = 0

____________

-x + 0 + 48 = 0

____________

x = 48

y = x+2

= 48 +2

= 50

Therefore the 2 nos. are 48 and 50
