Question

The sum of two consecutive even integers is 122. What are the two numbers?

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Let the first number = x
2. Therefore, the other number = x + 2 (x+2 is so as in two consecutive even numbers there is 1 odd number)
3. Now, According to question
4. x + x + 2 = 122
5. 2x + 2 = 122
6. 2x = 122-2
7. 2x = 120
8. x = 120/2
9. x = 60
10. Now, first no. = x = 60
11. Therefore, second no. = x + 2 = 60 + 2 = 62
12. Equation 60 + 62 = 122

Answer 2

Answer:

The numbers are : 60 , 62

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two consecutive even numbers be 2x , 2x + 2

2x + 2x + 2 = 122

Combine like terms

4x + 2 = 122

Subtract 2 from both sides

4x = 122 - 2

4x = 120

x = 120/4

x = 30

2x = 2*30 = 60

2x + 2 = 2*30 + 2 = 60 + 2 = 62
