The sum of two consecutive even numbers is 86. The first even number is x

Sagot :

Answer:

let x = the first even integer, then x+2 = the next consecutive even integer.

The sum: x + x+2 = 86 Collect like-terms.

2x + 2 = 86 Subtract 2 from both sides.

2x = 84 Divide both sides by 2.

x = 42.

The two consecutive even integers are: 42 and 44.

Check: 42 + 44 = 86
