The value of X is 4 - APEX you’re welcome (:
5 pairs of black socks*2 because it’s a pair= 10 socks
4 pairs of grey socks*2=8
2 pairs of white socks*2=4
1 pair of brown socks*2=2
1 pair of blue socks*2=2
10 socks+8 socks+4 socks+2 socks+ 2 socks=26 socks in total
26/2=13+1 because you need to be sure you get one pair of socks. The smallest amount of socks you would have to grab to get at least one matching pair is 14 socks.

<h3 /><h3>▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄</h3><h3>Required Solution :</h3>
Let the first even number be 'x' & the second even number be (x + 2)
<u>According to the Question</u>,
⇒x + (x + 2) = 34
⇒x + x + 2 = 34
⇒2x + 2 = 34
⇒2x = 34 - 2
⇒2x = 32
⇒x = 32/2
⇒x = 16
⇒First even number = x = 16
⇒Second even number = (x + 2) = 16 + 2 = 18
<u>∴</u><u> </u><u>The t</u><u>wo consecutive even n</u><u>u</u><u>m</u><u>b</u><u>e</u><u>r</u><u>s</u><u> are 16 & 18</u> ...!
<h3>Verefication : </h3>
As, In our Question it was given that "The sum of two consecutive even numbers is thirty-four". So, as we got our two consecutive even numbers as 16 & 18 ... By this, we can say that these both even numbers should be equals to 34, i.e., 16 + 18 = 34. Hence, The equation which we formed is correct ...!
