Question

The sum of two consecutive even integers is 54.find the integer

Answer 1

let the integer be x
then , next even integer is (x+2)
according to question ,

=> x+x+2 = 54

=> 2x+2 = 54

=> 2x = 54-2 = 52

=> x = 52/2 = 26

then , next integer = x+2 = 26+2 = 28

two consecutive even integers whose sum is 54 are 26 and 28

hope this helps

Answer 2

let the both no. be x and x+2
ATQ x+x+2=54
2x=52
x=52÷2
x=26
x+2=26+2=28

the two even no.s are 26 and 28
