Question

The sum of two consecutive even numbers is 82. Find the numbers​

Answer 1

Answer:

let them be x and x+2

now x +(x+2)= 82

2x + 2= 82

2x = 82 - 2

2x = 80

x = 80/2

x = 40

x + 2 = 40 + 2

= 42

so the two numbers are 40 and 42.

Answer 2

Answer:

let the numbers be x and x+2

by question, the sum of numbers is 82

therefore, x+x+2 = 82

= 2x+2 = 82

= 2x = 82-2

= 2x = 80

= x = 80/2

= x = 40

therefore the numbers are x = 40 and x+2 = 40+2 = 42
