Question

the sum of two consecutive even number is 86.find the number

Answer 1

Hey there !

Solution:

Let the two consecutive numbers be x and x + 2

So given that Sum is equal to 86

=> x + x + 2 = 86

=> 2x + 2 = 86

=> 2x = 86 - 2

=> 2x = 84

=> x = 84 / 2

=> x = 42

Therefore the other number is x + 2 which is 42 + 2 = 44

Therefore the two numbers are 42 and 44.

Hope my answer helped !

Answer 2

HEYA!!
----------


Let One Number be X

Then the consecutive number = X + 2. { Since its even }

ACCORDING TO THE GIVEN QUESTION:-
===================================


X + X + 2 = 86

2X + 2 = 86

2X = 86-2

2X = 84

X = 42

Hence The Numbers are :

〰X = 42

〰X + 2 = 44


Thus, 42 and 44 are the required Number s.
