Question

the sum of two consecutive even number is 74. find the number​

Answer 1

Let's have x be one even number and x+2 be the other even number. Now we can set up this equation:

x + (x+2)=74

Combine like terms and subtract 2 to get:

2x=72

Divide by 2:

x=36 Now we know the two number are:

36 & 38

Answer 2

Answer:

36 and 38

Step-by-step explanation:

because

let the 2 no.s be x and x+2

therefore from question x+x+2=74

2x+2=74

2(x+1)=74

x+1=37

x=36

therefore first no. is 36

and second no.is x+2

therefore second no. is 38
