Yes, sorry, they do need to be consecutive.

Answer 6

Normally the equation would be: x(x+1) = 960

Answer 7

@hartnn

Answer 8

But since they're even so it's not \(1\) that you'll add.

Answer 9

since they are even numbers they will have the difference of 2, right ?
like 2,4,6,8.....
so, what will be your equation with even numbers ?

Answer 10

Yeah, but 13 and 15 also have a difference of 2...

Answer 11

You do not need to care about this at the moment :)

Answer 12

Ookay. So then it would obviously be x(x+2)

Answer 13

yep :)

Answer 14

yess
so, x(x+2)=960
find the 2 values of x from this
can u ?

Answer 15

Okay, thanks, I can do it alone from here. Thanks!

Answer 16

no problem :)
