Question

find two consecutive even integers such that the smaller added to four times the larger number gives a sum of 38

Answer 1

let the first integer be x

the next consecutive even integer would be x + 2

smaller added to four times the larger is x + 4(x+2)

it says that is 38 so...

x + 4(x+2) = 38

do you know how to solve for x there?

Answer 2

would it be 32 and 6?
