Question

The sum of two consecutive even numbers is 78. Find them.

Answer 1

Let the numbers be x,x+2
As per the problem,
x+x+2=78
2x+2=78
2x=76
x=38
Therefore the numbers are 38(x) and 40(x+2).

Answer 2

first integer= x
second integer= x + 2

their sum is 78.

x+x+2 = 78
2x+2= 78
2x= 78-2
2x= 76
x= 76/2
x= 38

first number= x= 38
second number=x+2= 38 + 2=40

required numbers are 38 and 40.

hope it helps..☺☺
