Question

the sum of two consecutive even numbers is 82. find them

Answer 1

Let the first number be x and second number be x+2

x+x+2=82

2x=80

x=40

second number is x+2

therefore second number is 42 (x+2)

the two numbers are 40,42.

Answer 2

Let the first no. be x
Then the other no. will be x+1.
Now,
x+(x+1) = 82
x+x+1 =82
2x+1 = 82
2x = 82-1
2x = 81
x = 81/2
x = 40.5
Therefore, the first no. is 40.5 and the other no. is 41.5.
