Question

If the sum of two continuous even number is 50 then find the numbers .​

Answer 1

24 and 26

Explanation:

consecutive even numbers are 2 units apart.

let n be one even number then the other is n+ 2 , and summing gives

n+ n + 2 = 50

2n + 2 = 50 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

2n = 48 ( divide both sides by 2 )

n = 24

n + 2 = 24 + 2 = 26

the 2 numbers are 24 and 26
