Question

Find two consecutive even integers whose sum is 54

Answer 1

Answer:

1st integer = x

2nd integer = x + 2

 

x + x + 2 = 54

2x + 2 = 54

2x = 52

 x = 26

 

The 1st integer is 26.

The 2nd integer is 28.

 

 

Let's add these numbers.

 

26 + 28 = 54

     54  =  54

 

This checks out.

let the nos be x and x+2

x + (x+2) = 54

2x + 2 = 54

2x = 52

x = 26

x+2 = 28

therefore the nos are 26 and 28
