Question

The sum of two constructive even number is 302. Find the numbers​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider, Consecutive number= x and (x+2)

Answer- x+x+2=302

2x+2=302

2x=302-2

2x=300

x=300/2

x=150

First consecutive number= 150

Second consecutive number= (x+2)

150+2=152

First consecutive number= 150

Second consecutive number= 152.

Answer 2

Correct Question:

The sum of two consecutive even number is 302. Find the numbers

Answer:

The numbers are 150 and 152.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the numbers as :

• One as y
• Other as (y + 2)

According to the Question,

The sum of the numbers is 302

⇒ y + (y + 2) = 302

⇒ 2y + 2 = 302

⇒ 2y = 302 - 2

⇒ 2y = 300

⇒ y = 300/2

⇒ y = 150

One number = 150

★ Other number = (y + 2)

⇒ 150 + 2

⇒ 152

Other number = 152

Therefore, the numbers are 150 and 152.

Verification:

150 and 152 are consecutive even numbers. So, we have fulfilled the first condition.

Their sum should be 302.

⇒ 150 + 152

⇒ 302

Hence Verified!
