Problema Solution
find two consecutive even integers such that the smaller added to four times the larger gives a sum of 38
Answer provided by our tutors
x = smaller even integer
So, x+2 = next even integer
By condition, x + 4*(x+2) = 38
x + 4x + 8 = 38
5x = 38 - 8 = 30
x = 30/5 = 6
Therefore, the numbers are 6 and 6+2=8
