Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since they have the same base as 2, by the rule of a^m / a^n = a^m-n.
So 2^7 / 2^3 = 2^ 7-3 = 2^4 = 16
So I’m going to solve this using algebra OK?
So what you do is take the first integer as X.
Then we know that x(the first number) + X+2(the second number) is 288 right?
So we solve that saying x+x+2=288.
So 2X+2=288
2X+2-2=288-2 right?
So 2X=286.
So x is 286/2 right?
So x is 143.
Now the first number is 143 right?
So the second number should be 143+2 so 145.
I know they are not even but these are the solutions.
I don’t think there are any consecutive even numbers that add up to 288
Equation
10x1/2+(-6) (-3)
