Question

Two consecutive even numbers whose sum is 58

Answer 1

Answer:

$let \: two \: consecutive \: even \: no. \: be \: x \: and \: x + 2$

$x + x + 2 = \red{58}$

$2x + 2 = \red {58}$

$2x = \red{ 58 - 2}$

$x = \red { \frac{56}{2} }$

$x = \red{ 28}$

Answer 2

Answer: 28 and 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Consecutive even numbers are even  numbers  which follow each other in order, without gaps, from smallest to largest.

Let the numbers be :

$x$ and $x+2$

Therefore:

$x+x+2=58$

we have :

$2x+2=58$

subtract 2 from both sides

$2x = 58-2$

$2x = 56$

Divide both sides by 2

$x = 28$

therefore , the second number will be $28+2$ , which will be $30$
