Question

if thesum of two consecutive even numbers is 190 % . find the numbers​

Answer 1

Answer:

even no. are multiples of 2

let the numbers be 2x and 2y. then,

2x + 2y = 190. _1

where consecutive even numbers have a difference of 2

y - x = 2 _2

_2×2= 2y - 2x = 4. _3

now add the equation one and three

2x + 2y = 190 (+)

-2x + 2y = 4

you will get x = 46.5

put this result in equation one then you will get y = 48.5
