any two consecutive integers sum to an odd number, never an even number
but maybe you meant 2 consecutive even integers then 8 and 10 sum to 18
x+x+2 = 18
2x = 18-2 =16
x = 16/2 = 8
x+2 = 8+2 = 10
try this with 2 consecutive integers gives x and x+1
x+x+1 = 18
2x = 17
x = 17/2 = 8 1/2
x+1 = 9 1/2
which aren't integers
