Question

The sum of two consecutive multiples of 4 is 60. Find the number

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the numbers be 4x and 4x + 4 .

And it is given that their sum is 60.

According to the question , required equation :-

4x + 4x + 4 = 60

Solving equation :-

4x + 4x +4 = 60

8x + 4 = 60

8x = 60-4

8x = 56

x = 56/8

x = 7

The numbers are :-

4x = 4×7 = 28

&

4x + 4 = 4×7+4 = 32

Hence the required number are 28 and 32 .

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the multiples of 4 be x,x+4,x+8.

x+x+4+x+8 = 60

3x+12. = 60

3x. = 60-12

3x. = 48

x. = 48/3

x. = 16

First multiple = x+4

16+4

20

Second multiple = x+8

16+8

24
