Question

13.Find two consecutive even numbers whose sum is 86
[Hint. Let the consecutive even numbers be 2x, 2x + 2]​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

add the even number you have taken

then,

2x-----------------------eq1

2x+2------------------------------eq2

2x+2x+2=86

4x+2=86

4x=86-2

4x=84

x=84/4

x=21

putting value of x in eq I and eq2

eq 1. =. 2x

=2X21

=42

eq2=2x+2

=2X21+2

=42+2

=44
