Question

The sum of two consecutive even number's is 66. find the numbers. ​

Answer 1

`32\ and\ 34.`

Explanation:

Let x be the smaller number.

The next even number will be (x + 2).

`x+x+2=66`

`2x+2=66`

Subtract 2 from both sides:

`2x+2-2=66-2`

`2x=64`

Divide both sides by 2:

`(2x)/(2)=(64)/(2)`

`x=32`

The smaller number is 32.

Larger number
`=32+2=34`
