$\tt \: 6(x + 2) - (4x - 14)$

$\tt6x + 12 - 4(4x - 14)$

$\tt6x + 12 - 16x + 56$

$\tt - 10x + 68$

$\rule{300pt}{3pt}$

Let the two integers be x and x+2

$\sf \: x + x + 2 = - 67$

Let's solve this !~

$\sf \: 2x + 2 = - 67$

$\sf \: 2x = - 67 - 2$

$\sf \: 2x = - 69$

$\sf \: x = - (69)/(2)$

$\sf \: x = - 34.5$

$\rule{300pt}{3pt}$

$\large{|\underline{\mathtt{\red{N}\blue{u}\orange{m}\pink{b}\blue{e}\purple{r}\green{\:}\red{1}\blue{:}\orange{-}}}}$

$\sf = \: x \\ \sf \: = - 34.5$

$\large{|\underline{\mathtt{\red{N}\blue{u}\orange{m}\pink{b}\blue{e}\purple{r}\green{\:}\red{2}\blue{:}\orange{-}}}}$

$\sf \: = x + 2 \\ \sf = - 34.5 + 2 \\ \sf \: = - 32.5$
