-24 and -25

because (-24) + (-25) = -49

Answer 2

22(24)(26) = 13728.

Explanation:

Because the next two numbers are consecutive even integers, we can call represent them as x + 2 and x + 4. We are told the sum of x, x+2, and x+4 is equal to 72. This means that the integers are 22, 24, and 26. The question asks us for the product of these numbers, which is 22(24)(26) = 13728.
