Question

The sum of two consecutive even number is 32 . Find the number .

Help plz

Answer 1

let one consecutive number be = x
let other number be = x +1
sum of two numbers = 32 
according to the sum ,
                x + x+1 = 32
                  2x +1 = 32 
                   2x    = 32-1 
                   2x = 31
                      x = 31/2
                      x = 15.5
therefore one number = x = 15.5
other number = x+1 = 15.5+1 = 16.5

Answer 2

Here is your solution

Let,
The first even integer be:x

Then the second even integer is:x+2

Sum of three consecutive even numbers =32

A/q

(x)+(x+2)=32
2x+2=32
2x=30
x=15
now

The first integer is: x=15

The second integer is: x+2=15+2 = 17
