Answer:
$693
Step-by-step explanation:
Catherine invested a principal of $1,650 in her bank account with;
interest rate of 3.1%
How much interest did she earn in 14 years?
To find the amount accumulated in the 14 years, we use the formula:
A = P(1 + rt)
Where A is the amount accumulated, P is the principal, r is the interest rate and t is the time.
A = $1650(1 + 
(14))
A = $1650 + $693 = $2343
Interest = Amount (A) - Principal (P) = $2343 - $1650 = $693
So I’m going to solve this using algebra OK?
So what you do is take the first integer as X.
Then we know that x(the first number) + X+2(the second number) is 288 right?
So we solve that saying x+x+2=288.
So 2X+2=288
2X+2-2=288-2 right?
So 2X=286.
So x is 286/2 right?
So x is 143.
Now the first number is 143 right?
So the second number should be 143+2 so 145.
I know they are not even but these are the solutions.
I don’t think there are any consecutive even numbers that add up to 288
Answer: √14 =3.74, which is not an integer and therefore is an irrational number.
