Question

The sum of two consecutive even integers is 234 what is the larger integer

Answer 1

The sum between two unkown numbers is 234, you know that those numbers are consecutive, so if the lowest value is x, then the next value will be x+1

You can determine an equation using this information

x+(x+1)= 234

And clear the value of x

x+x+1=234

2x+1=234

2x=234-1

2x=233

x=233/2= 116.5

Then the next value will be

x+1= 116.5+1= 117.5≅ 118

The larges integer is 118
