Question

What is the sum of two consecutive even integers that is 134?

Answer 1

The integers are # 66 and68#

Explanation:

Let the two consecutive integers be `2n and 2n+2`

Therefore we can write

`2n+2n+2=134`

or

`4n=134-2`

or

`4n=132`

or

`n=132/4`

or

`n=33`

Therefore the integers are

`2n=2times33=66 and 2n+2=66+2=68`
