Question

If the sum of two consecutive even number is 34, find them?

Answer 1

Answer:

let the numbers be x and x+1

so, x+x+1=34

2x=33

x=33/2

x=16.5

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The consecutive even integers could be expressed as n and n+2 . Thus, n+(n+2)=34 , which simplifies to be 2n+2=34 . Solve this to see that 2n=32 so n=16 .
