Their average, 92/2 = 46, is the even integer between them. The two integers of interest are 45 and 47.

___

Any consecutive integers of the same parity (odd or even) differ by 2. If x is the smaller, then x+2 is the larger.

We suppose you're supposed to write the equation ...

  x + (x+2) = 92

  x = 45 . . . . . . . .the smaller integer is 45; the larger one is x+2 = 47.
