The square of the greater of two consecutive even numbers exceeds the square of the smaller by 36 . Find the number.

let the nos be x and (x+2) becuz they are consecutive even nos .

so:(x+2)2 -x2 =36

(x+2+x)(x+2-x)=36

AnswEr :

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Square of the greater of two consecutive even numbers exceeds square of smaller number by 36. Let's consider that two consecutive numbers are 'x' & 'x +2'.

\boxed{\bf{\mid{\overline{\underline{\bigstar\: According\: to \: the \: Question :}}}}\mid}

:\implies\tt \Big( x + 2 \Big)^2 = 36 + x^2 \\\\\\:\implies\tt x^2 + 4 + 4x = 36 + x^2 \\\\\\:\implies\tt 4x + 4 = 36 \\\\\\:\implies\tt 4x = 36 - 4 \\\\\\:\implies\tt 4x = 32 \\\\\\:\implies\tt x = \dfrac{32}{4} \\\\\\:\implies\tt x = 8

\dag\:\underline{\textsf{Here we get value of x is \textbf{8}}}.

:\implies\tt \Big(x + 2 \Big)  \\\\\\:\implies\tt 8 + 2  \\\\\\:\implies\tt 10

\therefore\:\underline{\textsf{Required Numbers are \textbf{8 \& 10}}}.
