Question

6. The sum of two consecutive even numbers is 38. Find the numbers. How

Answer 1

let the three consecutive even no. be x,x+1,x+2



x+(x+1)+(x+2)=38
3x+3=38
3x=38-3
3x=35
x=35/3
x=11.6666

Answer 2

$\frac{Answer}{}$

$Let \: \: the \: \: required \: \: numbers \: \: be \: x \: \: and \: \: x + 2.$

$A.T.Q$

$<marquee >x + x + 2 = 38$

$= > 2x = 38 - 2$

$= > 2x = 36$

$= > x = \frac{36}{2}$

$= > x = 18$

$Required \: \: numbers$

$x = 18$

$And \: x + 2 = 18 + 2 = 20$
