Question

sum of 2 consecutive even no is 38 find the no

Answer 1

Let the two numbers be x and x + 2 .

Since they are even numbers we are taking it as x and x + 2.

Sum = 38

=> x + x + 2 = 38

=> 2x + 2 = 38

=> 2x = 38 - 2

=> 2x = 36

=> x = 36 / 2 = 18

Hence the other number is x + 2 => 18 + 2 => 20

Hence the two numbers are 18 and 20.

Answer 2

let the first number be x
let the second number be x+2
sum of two number is 38

x+x+2=38
2x+2=38
2x=38-2
2x=36
x=36÷2
x=18

first number is 18
second number is 18+2=20
