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
Answer: 6
The absolute value of 19 is 19
Recall the following formula:
Given a triangle with side lengths a, b, and c. Let the measure of the angle between sides of length a and c be B.
Then, the area of the triangle is given by :

.
In our example we have: Area=10 square cm, a=8 cm, c=5 cm, and we want to find the measure of the angle between the 2 sides a and c.
Substituting in the formula we have:

Thus,

, which means

.

is the sine of

, but also

.
