Question

12. If the sum of two consecutive even numbers is 34, find the numbers?
​

Answer 1

$Let \: x \:and \: (x+2) \: are \: two$

$consecutive\: even \: numbers .$

/* According to the problem given */

$x + (x+2) = 34$

$\implies 2x + 2 = 34$

$\implies 2x = 34 - 2$

$\implies 2x = 32$

$\implies x = \frac{32}{2}$

$\implies x = 16$

Therefore.,

$\red{ Required \: two \: consecutive \: even }$

$\red{ numbers } \green { \: 16 \: and \: 18 }$

Answer 2

Answer:

n+(n+2)=34

2n+2=34

2n=34-2

2n=32

n=16

16+2=18

Hence two consecutive numbers are 16,18
