Question

The sum of two consecutive even natural numbers is 46.find the numbers.​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the two even consecutive numbers be

x and x+2

since their sum is 46, we can write it as

x + x + 2 = 46

2x + 2 = 46

2x = 46 - 2

2x = 44

x = 44/2

x = 22

x + 2 = 22 + 2 = 24

verification :

22 + 24 = 46

Answer 2

Answer:

let the consecutive no. be x , x+2

now x +x+2 = 46

2x +2 =46

2x = 46-2

x = 44 ÷ 2

x = 22

now x+2 = 22 + 2 = 24

now answer is 22 and 24
