Question

Two consecutive even integers add up to 1594. what are the two numbers?

Answer 1

Hey there!

Consecutive integers mean that the numbers are next to each other.

Consecutive even integers mean that the numbers are separated by a number between them.

Thus, if x is the smaller number, x+2 can be used to write the larger number.

x+x+2=1594

2x+2=1594

2x=1592

x=796.

The two numbers are 796 and 798.

Let me know if this helps :)
