Let 2k represent the original even number (such that k is an integer)
then 2(k + 1) is the next consecutive even number.
4(2k) - 16 = 2(k + 1)
8k - 16 = 2k + 2
6k = 18
k = 3
since 2k represents the original number, then 2(3) = 6 is the oroginal number

16/155 = n
explanation
A linear equation is an equation of a straight line. To solve linear equations, it is important to keep the following key concepts in mind:
Maintain balance of the equation by applying the same operations to both sides of an equation
Isolate for the variable by collecting like terms
Use inverse operations to rearrange an equation
to show your work
-8/ 5 = -31/2 • n
- 8/5 = -31n/2
2(-8/5) = 2 • -31/n
-16/5 = -31n
-16/5 / -31 = -31n/31
16/155 = n
