Question

the sum of 2 consecutive even number is 86.Find the larger of the two
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The larger number is 44.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because,

Let the two consecutive even numbers be x and (x+2)

=x+(x+2)=86

=x+x+2=86

=2x+2=86

=2x=86−2

=2x=84

=x=84/2

=x=42

The larger number is (x+1)=42+2=44
