Question

Find two consecutive even numbers whose sum is 130 [Hint: consecutive even numbers may be taken as 2x and 2x+2]​

Answer 1

Answer:

64 and 66

step by step explanation:

given,

1st even no. = 2x

2nd even no. = 2x+2

sum of their consecutive no. = 130

now

( 2x )+ (2x + 2) =130

= 4x + 2= 130

= 4x= 130-2= 128

therefore,

x = 128/4

= 32

so, 1st no. = 2x

= 2× 32= 64

2nd no. = 2x +2

= 2× 32+2

= 66
