Question

the sum of two consecutive multiple of 4is 60 .find the number​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Sum of two consecutive multiples of 4 = 60

Let the first number be = x

Second number should be = x + 1

∴ By the problem,

=> 4× x + 4(x+1) = 60

=> 4x + 4x + 4 = 60

=> 8x = 60 - 4

=> 8x = 56

=> x = $\frac{56}{8}$

=> x = 7

Hence the numbers are,

x= 7 and x+ 1 = 7+1 = 8 (Ans)

And multiples are,

4x = 28 and 4(x+1) = 32
