Question

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

114

116

112

118

Answer 1

Consecutive even integers means that they follow each other.

so 114 is the largest..meaning the previous has to be 112. 112+114 = 226
if you try 116 and 114 = 230
112 and 110 = 222
118 and 116 = 234

You just need to try them all out till you find it! It's 114 though.
