Answer:

The numbers are 4 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> the first positive even integer

x+2---> the second positive even integer

we know that

[tex]x(x+2)=x+(x+2)+14\\x^{2} +2x=2x+16\\x^{2}=16\\x=(+/-)4[/tex]

The solution is

[tex]x=4[/tex] -----> positive value

[tex]x+2=4+2=6[/tex]

The numbers are 4 and 6
