Answer 1

Answer:

one even no. be x, so next even no. is x+2

so, x+x+2 = 30

or, 2x = 28

or, x = 14

hence the even numbers = 14, 16

Answer 2

Answer:

14 and 16

Step-by-step explanation:

x = first number

y = second number

if x and y are consecutively even, use this equation

y = x + 2

in the equation x + y = 30, we can substitute y for x+2

our equation now would be x + x + 2 = 30, or in other terms, 2x+2=30.

now we isolate x.

2x = 28 after subtracting 2 from both sides.

x = 14 after dividing by 2 from both sides.

y = 14 + 2 = 16

x = 14

y = 16
