Question

Find two consecutive even integers such that twice the smaller is 26 less than. 3 times the smaller

Answer 1

Two consecutive even integers are 32 and 34.

Explanation:

Let the two consecutive even integers are x and x+2.

ATQ,

Twice the smaller is 26 less than. 3 times the smaller

2x = 3(x-2) -26

2x = 3x-6-26

2x = 3x -32

32 = 3x-2x

x = 32

Hence, the smaller number be 32 and larger number be x+2 = 32+2 = 34.
