1. **State the problem:** We need to find two consecutive even integers whose sum is 110.
2. **Define variables:** Let the first even integer be $x$. Since the integers are consecutive even numbers, the next integer is $x + 2$.
3. **Set up the equation:** The sum of the two integers is given as 110, so:
$$x + (x + 2) = 110$$
4. **Simplify the equation:**
$$2x + 2 = 110$$
5. **Isolate the variable:** Subtract 2 from both sides:
$$2x + \cancel{2} - \cancel{2} = 110 - 2$$
$$2x = 108$$
6. **Solve for $x$:** Divide both sides by 2:
$$\frac{2x}{\cancel{2}} = \frac{108}{\cancel{2}}$$
$$x = 54$$
7. **Find the second integer:**
$$x + 2 = 54 + 2 = 56$$
8. **Answer:** The two consecutive even integers are **54** and **56**.
