Question

The sum of two consecutive even integers is 226. What is the larger integer?

Answer 1

114

Answer 2

When summing two even consecutive integers, you will have the general form

x + (x+2) = n

where n = the given integer.

Answer 3

x + 2 will be the larger integer

Answer 4

In this case, we have:
x + (x+ 2) = 226
2x + 2 = 226
2x = 224
x = 224/2
x = 112 (the value of the smaller integer)
x + 2 = 114 (the value of the larger integer)
