Question

Hey i really need help!!!!

the sum of two consecutive even numbers are 54 find the numbers!!

Answer 1

26 and 28

Explanation:

let the 2 consecutive even numbers be n and n + 2 , then

n + n + 2 = 54 , that is

2n + 2 = 54 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

2n = 52 ( divide both sides by 2 )

n = 26

n + 2 = 26 + 2 = 28

The 2 numbers are 26 and 28
