let x = the first even numberlet (x + 2) = the second even number.their
sum must be 38 ∴x + (x + 2) = 38 by simplification we get 2x + 2 =
38 subtracting 2 from each side of the equation we will get 2x = 36
dividing each side of the equation by 2 we will get x = 18 so one number is 18 and another number is 18 + 2 = 20
dividing each side of the equation by 2 we will get x = 18 so one number is 18 and another number is 18 + 2 = 20
