Question

ii) If the smaller of the two consecutive even integers is subtracted from 3 times the larger, result is 42. Find the integers.​

Answer 1

Answer:

26 and 28

Explanation:

let the numbers be 'x + 1 ' and 'x+3'

so According to the question the equation stands as

3(x+3) - (x+1) = 42

2x - 8 = 42

2x = 50

Therefore x = 25

So the integer are (25+1)  and (25+3)
