Question

2 consecutive even number such that half of the larger number exceeds 1/4th of the smaller by 5

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let the numbers be 2*k and 2*k +2.

then

(2*k + 2)/2 = (2*k)/4 + 5

k + 1 = k/2 + 5

k/2 = 4

k = 8

the numbers are

2*k = 2 * 8 = 16

and

2*k + 2 = 2 * 8 + 2 = 18
