Question

find two consecutive even numbers whose sum is 73​

Answer 1

$\huge \mathsf{\orange {\underline {\purple {\underline { Required \ answer \ ♡ \ :- }}}}}$

If we let the smaller of 2 consecutive integers be x then the larger is x+1.

We are told that,

$\sf{(x)+(x+1)=73}$

$\sf{2x +1=73}$

$\sf{2x=72}$

$\sf{x=36}$

$\sf\red{↠ \ The \ two \ consecutive \ integers \ are  \ 36 \ and \  37}$

Answer 2

Answer:

If we let the smaller of 2 consecutive integers be x then the larger is x+1.

We are told that,

\sf{(x)+(x+1)=73}(x)+(x+1)=73

\sf{2x +1=73}2x+1=73

\sf{2x=72}2x=72

\sf{x=36}x=36
