Question

The sum of ten consecutive whole even numbers is 1190

Answer 1

Answer:In other words, since even numbers are the multiples of 22, we can represent an even integer nn by 2k2k, where kk is also an integer. So if we have the even integers 1010 and 1616, we can rewrite them asn=2k→10=2(5)

n = 2k\, \to \,\,16 = 2\left( 8 \right)\,n=2k→16=2(8)

Explanation:

Consecutive Even Integers

The best way to illustrate what consecutive even integers are through the use of examples. Observe that any pair of two consecutive even integers are 22 units apart. In other words, if you pick any even integer in the set of consecutive even integers then subtract it by the previous one, you will always get the difference of \bold{+2}+2 or simply \bold{2}2, written without the \bold{+}+ symbol.
