Question

find two consecutive even number whose sum is 86.
[HINT] Let two consecutive even number be 2x,2(x+1)]​

Answer 1

Answer : 42 and 44

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two consecutive even numbers be

x and x + 2

ATQ,

x + x + 2 = 86

2x + 2 = 86

2x = 86 - 2

2x = 84

x = 84/2

x = 42

Hence the two consecutive even numbers are....

x = 42 and x + 2 = 42 + 2 = 44
