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
Answer: 125/242
Step-by-step explanation: Probability is favorable outcomes over all outcome, since there were 250+234 total outcome, and 250 were favorable (girls), then the probability is 250/250+234=250/484=125/242
