Question

89. The sum of two consecutive multiples of 2 is 18. Find the numbers​

Answer 1

Let the two consecutive multiples of 2 be 2x and 2x + 2. Hence, the required numbers are 2x = 2× 4 = 8 and 2x + 2 = 2 × 4 + 2 = 8 + 2 = 10...

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the two consecutive multiples of 2 be 2x and 2x+2.

According to the question,

2x + 2x + 2 = 18

4x + 2 = 18

4x = 18 - 2

4x = 16

4x ÷ 4 = 16 ÷ 4

x = 4

Hence, the required numbers are 2x = 2 x 4 = 8 and  2x + 2 = 2 x 4 + 2 = 10.
