Question

The sum of two consecutive even integers is 50. What are the numbers?

Answer 1

Answer:24 and 26

Step-by-step explanation:

First even no=2x

Second =2x+2

Sum=50

2x+2x+2=50

4x+2=50

4x=48x

x=48/4

x=12

So now the numbers are

2x=2*12=24

2x+2=24+2=26

Answer 2

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

A.T.Q

x+ x+ 2= 50

2x+ 2= 50

2x= 50- 2

2x= 48

x= 48/2

x= 24

Ist integer= x= 24

IInd integer= x+ 2= 24+2= 26

THE REQUIRED ANSWER IS 24 and 26.
