Question

The greater of 2 consecutive even integers is 58 less than three times the smaller, what are the numbers?

Answer 1

Let Smaller Consecutive even Number=x

Then Greater even number=x+2

According to Question greater (x+2) is 58 less than 3 times smaller x

A/q

3x-58=x+2

3x-x=2+58

2x=60

x=60/2

x=30

Smaller Number=x=30

Larger Number=x+2=30+2=32
