Question

The sum of two consecutive even numbers is 42. Find the numder​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

x+x+2=42

2x+2=42

2x=42-2

2x=40

x=40/2

x=20

First no. = 20

Second no. = 22

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the first number be x

Then the second number will be x+2

Sum of the two numbers=42

So,

x+x+2=42

2x+2=42

2x=42-2

2x=40

x=40/2

x=20

First number=20

Second number=x+1 =>20+2

=>22
