Question

EXERCISE 2.2
1. The sum of two consecutive even natural numbers is 46. Find the numbers.
Find the numbers.​

Answer 1

Answer:

consecutive even integers are two numbers apart

x = 1st even integer

x+2 = next consecutive even integer

x+(x+2)=46

2x+2=46

2x=44

x=22

so the two consecutive even integers are 22 and 24

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer will be 22 and 24.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first even natural number be x. Hence, another consecutive even natural number will be x +2.

Thier sum = 46;

Thus, x + x + 2 = 46

2x = 44

x = 22.

First number of two consecutive even natural number is 22.

And, the second one is;

= x + 2

= 22 + 2

= 24.

That's all.
