Question

the sum of two concutive even integer is 46. find the integer.

Answer 1

consecutive even integers are two numbers apart

x = 1st even integer

x+2 = next consecutive even integer

x+(x+2)=46

2x+2=46
2x = 46-2
2x=44
$x = \frac{44}{2 } = 22$



x=22

so the two consecutive even integers are 22 and 24
