Question

The sum of two consecutive even integers is 118 what are the integers

Answer 1

suppose one of our integers is x. then the next one would be x+2(because they are consecutive). so the equation looks like this :

x + ( x + 2 ) = 118 then we'll have : 2x+2 = 118 then : 2x = 116 .

so x would be 58 and the next one would be 60

Explanation:

Answer 2

58 and 60

Explanation:

well if we say that x is the first integer

then we have that the next one is

x+2

so we have

`x+(x+2)=118\\\\2x+2=118\\\\2x=116\\\\x=58`

and the other one is

`x+2=58+2=60`
