Question

The sum of two consecutive even number's is 66. find the numbers. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

$32\ and\ 34.$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the smaller number.

The next even number will be (x + 2).

$x+x+2=66$

$2x+2=66$

Subtract 2 from both sides:

$2x+2-2=66-2$

$2x=64$

Divide both sides by 2:

$\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{64}{2}$

$x=32$

The smaller number is 32.

Larger number $=32+2=34$
