Question

The sum of two consecutive multiples of 2 is 18. Find the numbers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

2x(2x+2)=18

2x(x+1)=9

2x^2+2x_-9=0

x= -2+(4+36×4)^1/2 ÷ 4

x=-1+(1+6)^1/2

×=1+(7)^1/2

Answer 2

$\: hello \: buddy \: \\ \\ answer \: to \: your \\ \\ question \\ \\ x + (x+2)= 18 \\ \\ 10 + 8 = 18 \\ \\ \\ hope \: it \: helps \: you$

$\leqslant let \: one \: number \: be \: x \\ \\ then \: other \: will \: be \: (x + 2) \\ \\ because \ number \: are \: \\ \\ consecutive \: multiple \: of \: 2 \\ \\ \: x + (x + 2) = 18 \\ \\ 2x + 2 = 18 \\ \\ 2x = 18 - 2 \\ \\ 2x = 16 \\ \\ x = \frac{16}{2} \\ \\ x = 8 \\ \\ second \: number \: is \: x + 2 \\ \\ = 8 + 2 \\ \\ = 10 \\ \\ answer \: is \: \\ \\ 8 \: and \: 10$
