Question

The sum of two con seductive even integers is 226 what is the larger integer

Answer 1

114

Explanation:

Since the two consecutive integers are even, we can assume the smaller one of them to be represented by x and the larger one be represented by (x + 2).

We know that the two consecutive integers add up to 226 so combiningg these two integers to get:

`x+(x+2)=226`

`2x+2=226`

`2x=224`

`x=112`

So, the smaller integer x will be 112 and the larger integer (x + 2) will be (112 + 2) = 114.
