Question

The sum of two consecutive even numbers is 40 . find the numbers ?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

n + n+2 = 40

2n+2 = 40

2n = 38

n = 19

Answer 2

Answer:

Let first consecutive even number be x .

then, second consecutive even number = x + 2

according to your question,

x + x + 2 = 40

or, 2x + 2 = 40

or, 2x = 40 - 2

or, 2x = 38

or, x = 38/2

x = 19

Hence the first consecutive even no.= x = 19

& second consecutive even number=x+2= 19+2

= 21
