Question 539000: the two consecutive even numbers whose sum is 10 are and ?

Consecutive even numbers have to be integers because only integers are even or odd. Consecutive even integers are two apart. 6 and 8, for example, are 2 apart. Call the numbers x and x+2.

x+x+2=10

2x=8

x=4

x=4 and x+2=6
