Question

The sum of two consecutive even numbers is 210.

The two consecutive integers from small to large are

Answer 1

Answer: The numbers are 104 and 106

Explanation:

Let x = the first number

x + (x+2) = 210 - combine like terms and solve for x

2x +2 = 210

2x = 208

x = 104

Since the first number is 104 the second must be 106.

Answer 2

104, 106

Explanation:

Hello!

A consecutive number is a number that comes after the other.

Let the first even integer be x. Since there is an even integer for every two integers, the second number should be x + 2.

Solve for x

• (x) + (x + 2) = 210
• x + x + 2 = 210
• 2x + 2 = 210
• 2x = 208
• x = 104

The second number is x + 2, so it would be 106.
