Question

The sum of two consecutive even number is36.find the number ?

Answer 1

Answer:

17 and 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be x and (x + 2)

so we can write: x + (x+2) = 36.

Now, by simplifying above equation we get...

x + x + 2 = 36

2x + 2 = 36

2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17

now put the value of x in (x + 2)

we get other no. 19
