Two consecutive even integers have a sum of 50 . Find the integers.

Question

this is solving consecutive intergers.

Answer 1

The 1st integer = x

the 2nd integer = x + 2

 

x + x + 2 = 50

2x + 2 = 50

2x = 48

  x = 24

 

The first integer = x = 24

The second integer = x + 2 = 24 + 2 = 26

 

 

The integers are 24 and 26.

Answer 2

Let x be first no.

x+2= next even no.

 

x+x+2=50

2x+2=50

2x=50-2

2x=48

x=48/2

x=24

x+2=24+2=26

 

24 and 26
