Two consecutive even integers have a sum of 38 . find the integers.
Two consecutive even integers:
x, x+2
Two consecutive even integers have a sum of 38
x+x+2=38
find the integers:
Solve for x
2x+2=38
2x+2-2=38-2
2x=36
2/2x=36/2
x=18
sub in x=18
x, x+2
(18), (18)+2
18, 20
Check: 18+20=38
18 and 20 are two consecutive numbers that have a sum of 38
