two even consecutive numbers that make up 102

Question

two consecutive even numbers that make up 102? 

Answer 1

50 + 52 = 102

 

Algebraically: Consecutive even numbers are separated by 2.

If the smaller even integer is x

Next consecutive even integer is x+2

 

x + x + 2 = 102

2x + 2 = 102

2x = 100

x = 50

x+2 = 52
