Let's have x be one even number and x+2 be the other even number. Now we can set up this equation:
x + (x+2)=74
Combine like terms and subtract 2 to get:
2x=72
Divide by 2:
x=36 Now we know the two number are:
36 & 38
x + (x+2)=74
Combine like terms and subtract 2 to get:
2x=72
Divide by 2:
x=36 Now we know the two number are:

Hi !
Let the two consecutive even numbers be x and x +2
A.T.Q.,
x + x +2 = 74
2x + 2 = 74
2x = 72
x = 72/2
= 36
x + 2 = 38

The no:s are 36 and 38
