Question

The sum of two consecutive even integers is 58, what is the larger integer?

Answer 1

The numbers are: `color(green)(28, 30`

Explanation:

The two consecutive even integers can be written as:

`color(green)((x) and (x+2)`

As per the conditions given:

`(x) + (x+2) = 58`

`2x= 56`

`color(green)(x=28`

The numbers are: `x, x+2`

`= color(green)(28, 30`
