The sum of two consecutive even integers is 46. Find the integers?
- 20 and 22
- 22 and 24
- 24 and 26
- 18 and 20
Explanation
To find two consecutive even integers whose sum is 46, let's set up the equation:
Let the first integer be x. Then the next consecutive even integer is
x+2.
The equation is:
x+(x+2)=46
Simplify and solve for
2x+2=46
2x=44
x=22
So, the two consecutive even integers are 22 and 24.
