Answer 1

the nembers two condition is possible
28 and 30

Answer 2

(i) let,

the first consecutive even number be x

therefore, the second consecutive even number=x+2

(ii) by the given conditions,

x + (x+2) = 58

x+x+2=58

2x=58-2

2x=56

x=56/2

x=28

(iii)first even number=x=28

second even number=x+2

=28+2

=30

therefore, the two consecutive positive even numbers that add up 58 are 28 and 30.
