Question

The sum of two consecutive even numbers is 182. Find the numbers.

Answer 1

Answer:

x +x=182

2x=182

x=182÷2=91

91 is the middle number

so 90 and 92 are the consecutive numbers

Answer 2

Answer:

let the 1st no. be=x and 2nd be=y

CONDITION:y=x+2

So,

x+y=182

x+x+2=182

2x+2=182

2x=182-2

x=180/2

x=90

y=x+2

y=90+2

y=92

Step-by-step explanation:

we have taken the two numbers x and y,

with a condition that y=x+2...

so,x+y=182      [y=x+2]

x+x+2=182

2x+2=182

2x=182-2

x=180/2

x=90

y=x+2

y=90+2

y=92

check

x+y=182

90+92=182

182=182
