Problema Solution
Find two consecutive even integers such that the smaller added to five times the larger gives a sum of 34
Answer provided by our tutors
the two consecutive even integers can be written as:
2x, 2x + 2, where x is integer
2x < 2x + 2 that is 2x is the smaller
the smaller added to five times the larger gives a sum of 34:
2x + 2(2x + 2) = 34
by solving we find:
x = 5
