sum of two consecutive even numbers is 22 find the numbers
Answers
Ans ---> 10 and 12
Given ---> Sum of two consecutive even numbers is 22
To find ---> Consecutive even numbers
Solution---> First of all we discuss about even numbers . Even numbers are whole numbers which are divisible by two , e. g. 2 , 4 ,6 etc
Now consecutive even numbers are which have difference of two between them . e. g. , 2 and 4 , 4 and 6 , 6 and 8
Now , returning to original problem .
Let , consecutive even numbers be x and ( x + 2 )
ATQ , Sum of consecutive even number is 22.
So , Sum of even consecutive even
numbers = 22
=> x + ( x + 2 ) = 22
=> x + x + 2 = 22
=> 2 x = 22 - 2
=> 2 x = 20
=> x = 20 / 2
=> x = 10
Value of x is 10
Now we can find consecutive even number
First even number = x
= 10
Second even number = x + 2
= 10 + 2
= 12
Additional information--->
Odd nubers are those whole numbers which are not divisible by two, e. g. 1, 3 , 5 etc
