the sum of two consecutive integers is 118
a. DEFINE A VARIABLE FOR THE SMALLER INTEGER.
b. WHAT MUST YOU ADD TO AN INTERGER TO GET THE NEXT GREATER EVEN INTEGER?
c. WRITE AN EXPRESSION FOR THE SECON INTEGER.
a. make the variable be x
b. you must add 2 to an even integer to get the next even integer
c. x + 2
Problem:
x + (x + 2) = 118
2x + 2 = 118
2x = 116
x = 58
Check:
58 + (58 + 2) = 118
58 + 60 = 118
