Question

the sum of two consecutive even no is 74 find the no

Answer 1

Let the two consecutive even numbers are 2x and 2x + 2.

According to question,

2x + 2x + 2 = 74

⇒ 4x = 72

⇒ x = 72/4 = 18

so the two consecutive even numbers are 36 and 38

Answer 2

let the no. be 2x
other no. 2x+1
A/Q,
2x + 2x + 2 = 74
4x +2 = 74
4x = 74-2
x = 72/4
=18
therefore, the no are 36 and 38
