Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the two consecutive even numbers = x and x+1
According to the question,
The sum of two conservative numbers = 74
∴ x + (x + 1) = 74
⇒ x + x + 1 = 74
⇒ 2x + 1 = 74
⇒ 2x = 74 - 1 (∵transposing )
⇒ 2x = 73
⇒ x = 73 / 2 ( ∵ transposing )
Hence the two consecutive even numbers = x , x + 1
= 73 / 2 , 73 / 2 + 1
= 73 / 2 , 73 + 2 / 2
= 73 / 2 , 75 / 2
