Question

Two consecutive even integers have a sum of
38
. Find the integers.

Answer 1

if one number is x then next one is x +1
so we can form the equation

x + x + 1 = 38

solve for x

Answer 2

oops sorry I misread the question
as they are both even numbers
that will be x and x + 2

so
x + x + 2 = 38

Answer 3

x+ (x+1) = 38
2x+1 = 38
2x=37
x= 18.5

Answer 4
