Question

find two consecutive even number such that one quarter of the smaller exceeds one fifth of the larger by 4​

Answer 1

Answer:

The smaller even number = 88

The greater even number = 90

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smaller even number be 'x'

Therefore the greater even number = 'x+2'

By given condition,

1/4x = 1/5(x+2)+4

x/4 = (x+2)/5+4

x/4 = (x+2+20)/5

x/4 = (x+22)/5

5x = 4(x+22)

5x = 4x+88

5x-4x = 88

x = 88

The smaller even number = 88

The greater even number = 90
