Question

find two consecutive even numbers whose sum is 86 answer is 42 and 44 solve it please ​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 2 = 86 Subtract 2 from both sides. 2x = 84 Divide both sides by 2. x = 42. The two consecutive even integers are: 42 and 4

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Two even numbers = x , x+2

x+x+2 = 86

2x+2= 86

2x = 86 - 2

2x = 84

x = 84/2

x = 42

now substitute x value

x = 42

x+2 = 42 + 2 = 44

Therefore the answer is 42 and 44
