Question

The sum of two consecutive even integers is 234. What is the larger integer?

114

116

118

124

Answer 1

hint: solve

x+(x+2) = 234

for x

Answer 2

well, if you had an integer of say "a"
the consecutive number for that will be "a+1"

so the sum of "a" and "a+1" is 234
thus
a+(a+1) = 234
just solve for "a"

the largest integer will be "a+1" of course :)

Answer 3

jdoe0001 keep in mind that they want consecutive even integers, not just consecutive integers

Answer 4

ohh ahemm, yeah

Answer 5

x+(x+2) = 234
2x+2=234
2x=234-2
2x=232
x=232/2
118

Answer 6

right, thus a+(a+2) = 234

Answer 7

232/2 is not 118 xoya

Answer 8

you got it jdoe0001
