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.
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "The hard way:
\n" ); document.write( "n and n+2 are the numbers
\n" ); document.write( "n + (n+2) = 250
\n" ); document.write( "2n+2 = 250
\n" ); document.write( "2n = 248
\n" ); document.write( "n = 124
\n" ); document.write( "--> 124 and 126
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "The easy way:
\n" ); document.write( "250/2 = 125
\n" ); document.write( "One number is below it, one above.
\n" ); document.write( "--> 124 and 126
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
