Question

the sum of 2 consecutive even number is 42 find the number

Answer 1

Let one number be x

The consecutive numbers are even,

so, The other number will be x + 2

Given that,

their sum is 42

Therefore

by forming an equation,

we have,

x + x +2 = 42

2x + 2 = 42

2x = 42 - 2

2x = 40

$x = \frac{40}{2}$


x = 20


Therefore,

first number = x = 20

2nd number = x + 2 = 20 + 2 = 22


Thus,

the numbers are 20 and 22

Answer 2

hello friend :))

=====================

=======================

your solution is here..

let one no. be x.

therefore..other o. is x+2

therefore..

==================================

======================

sum= x+x+2

2x+2=42
x=20.

therefore..one no. is x= 20
and x=22.

=========================
