Problema Solution

Find two consecutive even integers such that four times the first is three times the second. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.)

Answer provided by our tutors

let '2n' represent the first even integer, then '2n+2' represents the next consecutive even integer


4(2n) = 3(2n+2)

solving for 'n' we have n=3


2*3 = 6

2*3 + 2 = 8


the numbers are 6 and 8

the solution set is {6, 8}
