Algebra.Com's Answer #485 by abhinav75(8) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! let the numbers be n and n+2, both of which are even.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "now, n + (n+2) = 120 \n" ); document.write( "so, 2n + 2 = 120 \n" ); document.write( "so, 2n = 118 \n" ); document.write( "so, n = 59..\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "now, n was even, which cannot be obtained from this case.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Therefore, this problem has no solution \n" ); document.write( " |
