The numbers are 46 and 48.

Let n represent the first number; then, n + 2 represents the next even number. Because their sum is 94, we can set up and solve the following equation: n + n + 2 = 94 2n + 2 = 94 Subtract 2 from both sides: 2n = 92 Divide both sides by 2: n = 46 If n = 46, then n + 2 = 48 So, the numbers are 46 and 48.
