Question

The sum of 2 consecutive even numbers is 22. Find the second number.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the two consecutive number be x, x+2

Now,

x + x + 2 = 22

2x + 2 = 22

2x = 22 - 2

2x = 20

x = 20/2

x = 10

the first consecutive number = x

= 10

the second consecutive number = x + 2

= 10 + 2

= 12
