The sum of two consecutive even integer is 250. Identify both of the numbers and construct an algebraic equation with a variable and solve using algebra steps.
---------
The hard way:
n and n+2 are the numbers
n + (n+2) = 250
2n+2 = 250
2n = 248
n = 124
--> 124 and 126
--------------
The easy way:
250/2 = 125
One number is below it, one above.
--> 124 and 126
