• The sum of two consecutive even numbers is 38. How do you find the numbers?

$\huge\purple{\mathbb{Solution \::-}}$

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

Therefore,

=> x+(x+2) = 38

=> 2x + 2 = 38

=> 2x = 38 - 2

$= > x = \frac{36}{2}$

=> x = 18

so, the first consecutive number is 18.

Now, the second number is

x+2 => 18 + 2 = 20

Hence the two consecutive even numbers are ${ \sf{ \color{maroon}{18 \: and \: 20}}}$
