Question

Two consecutive even numbers are such that the sum of the larger number and three times the smaller number is 42. Find the two numbers.

Answer 1

Answer:

Let first even number be x

Therefore second number will be (x+2)

Acc to question: (x+2)+3x=42

4x+2=42

4x=40

X=10

Therefore: smallest number is 10

And larger number is x+2=10+2=12

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

AnswEr :

10 and 12.

Given :

Two consecutive even numbers are such that the sum of the larger number and three times the smaller number.

To find :

The two numbers.

Explanation :

Two consecutive even numbers are x and x+2

A/q

→ x + 2 + 3x = 42

→ 4x + 2 = 42

→ 4x = 42 - 2

→ 4x = 40

→ x = 40/4

→ x = 10

Thus;

The first number = x = 10.

The other number = x + 2= 10 + 2 = 12.
