The lesser of two consecutive even integers is 10 more than one-half the greater. Find the integers.

Hello,

Here's my solution:

Let n = the lesser of the two consecutive even integers; so what will be a good way to represent the greater of the two consecutive even integers? I say n + 2.

Let's write the equation:
n = ((n+2)/2) + 10

I'll multiply both sides of the equation by 2 to eliminate the denominator, getting:
2n = 2[((n+2)/2) + 10]

This reduces to:
2n = n+2 + 20

Which can be further simplified to:
2n = n+22
 
Subtracting n from both sides we get:
n = 22

So n, the lesser consecutive even integer is 22. The greater consecutive even integer is 24.


Let's check this solution by substituting n = 22 into our original equation:

n = ((n+2)/2) + 10

22 = ((22+2)/2) + 10
22 = ((24)/2) + 10
22 = (12) + 10
22 = 22 - it checks!

a carpenter cut four lengths of wood. the lengths were 36 3/4 in., 36 3/8 in., 37 1/2., and z in. if the mean of lengths is 36 5
lisov135 [29]
36 3/4 = 36.75
36 3/8 = 36.375
37 1/2 = 37.5
36 5/8 = 36.625

(36.75 + 36.375 + 37.5 + z) / 4 = 36.625
(110.625 + z) / 4 = 36.625
110.625 + z = 36.625 * 4
110.625 + z = 146.5
z = 146.5 - 110.625
z = 35.875 or 35 7/8 <===
