Question

sum of two consecutive even numbers is 23more than the average of these numbers..what is the second number​

Answer 1

Answer: 12

Explanation:

let two consecutive numbers be 2x,2x+2

average of two numbers = 2x+2x+2/2 = 2x+1

sum of the numbers = 4x+2

as per question,

2x+1+23 = 4x+2

23 = 2x-1

2x=24

x=12

∴ the second number = 12
