Answer:

134

Step-by-step explanation:

Integers are whole numbers that can be positive or negative.  If an integer and the next even integer are added together, we can assign them variables:

first integer: x

second even integer: x + 2

Since the sum is equal to 266:

x + x + 2 = 266

combine like terms: 2x + 2 = 266

subtract 2 from each side: 2x + 2 - 2 = 266 - 2 or 2x = 264

divide by 2: 2x/2 = 264/2 or x = 132

second even integer: 132 + 2 = 134
