Question

The sum of two consecutive even number is 74. Find the numbers

Answer 1

Let the numbers be x and x+2.
Then,

⇒x+(x+2)=74
⇒2x+2=74
⇒2x=72
⇒x=36    ,      ⇒x+2=38

∴The numbers are 36 and 38.

Answer 2

нere ιѕ тнe anѕwer

Let the first number be x
Let the second number be x + 2

As per your question,
Their sum is 74

Thus,

x + (x + 2) = 74

x + x + 2 = 74

2x + 2 = 74

2x = 74 - 2

2x = 72

x = 36

Thus,
We got the value of x
x = 36

Thus,
x + 2 = 36+2 = 38.

Hence, the two numbers are 36 and 38.
