Sum of N and its next consecutive even integer is 65

Next even consecutive integer is N + 2.

We have N + (N + 2) = 65.

Combine like terms, we have 2N + 2 = 65

Running this problem through the search engine, we get n = 31.5. Meaning this problem is impossible, it cannot be done. n is not an integer, and neither is the next consecutive even integer.
