can anyone answer this? Find two consecutive even integers such that the square of the smaller is 10 times more than the larger. Thank you

assume x is the smaller and y is the larger, where both are even
x = y-2 \\
x^2 = \frac{y^2}{10}
can you solve these simultaneous equations? Or do you need further help?
