the sum of 2 consecutive even integers is 70. find the larger number. Please help me solve this, I need to the the process
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = larger of two consecutive even integers
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "x-2 = smaller of two consecutive even integers
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "from: \"the sum of 2 consecutive even integers is 70\" we get our equation:
\n" ); document.write( "x + (x-2) = 70
\n" ); document.write( "x + x - 2 = 70
\n" ); document.write( "2x - 2 = 70
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 72
\n" ); document.write( "x = 36 (answer)
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
