Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two consecutive even number be (x+1),(x+3)

The sum of two consecutive even numbers is 38

According to question

(x+1)+(x+3)= 38

x+1+x+3= 38

2x+4= 38

2x= 38-4

2x= 34

x= 34/2

x= 17

Therefore, first number is (x+1)= 17+1= 18

second number is (x+3)= 17+3= 20

Therefore, The number is 18 and 20
