Question

The sum of two consecutive even integers is 234. What is the larger integer?

Answer 1

`x=118`

Explanation:

We have got the system :
`x+y=234`[1]
`x-y=2`[2]
If we consider `x` as the larger one, and that this is sum of two consecutive even integer number.
So : [1]+[2]:
`2x=236`[1]
`x-y=2`[2]
`x=118`[1]
`y=116`[2]
So the larger number is 118, \0/ here's our answer!
