Question

The sum of two even consecutive integers is 46. Find the integers.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

consecutive even integers are two numbers apart

x = 1st even integer

x+2 = next consecutive even integer

x+(x+2)=46

2x+2=46

2x=44

x=22

so the two consecutive even integers are 22 and 24

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let first no. be x and second no. be x+2 as the sum should be found for two even integers

So

x+x+2=46

2x=46-2

2x=44

x=44÷2

x=22

x+2=22+2=24
