Question

Find 2 consecutive even integers such that twice the larger integer is four more than half of the smaller integer

Answer 1

0 and 2

Explanation:

Let the two consecutive integers be 2x and 2x+2

We are given that twice the larger integer is four more than half of the smaller integer

`2(2x+2)=(1)/(2)(2x)+4`

`4x+4=x+4`

`x=0`

So, Two consecutive integers are 2(0)=0 and 2(0)+2=2

Hence the two consecutive integers are 0 and 2
