Two houses on the same side of the street have house numbers that are consecutive
even integers. The sum of the integers is 58. What are the two house numbers?

Respuesta :

Answer: 28 and 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the house numbers on the street be represented by n and n+2 sine they are consecutive even integers. Therefore,

n + (n + 2) = 58

2n + 2 = 58

2n = 58 - 2

2n = 56

n = 56/2

n = 28

Therefore the second number will be:

= n + 2

= 28 + 2

= 30

The numbers are 28 and 30
