Question 223562
First Question:
your logic was correct but your equation was slightly off.
I think you meant to say:
x+(x+1)+(x+2)=36

Second Question:
you were right about this and the second number is very easy to get:
If you let the first number = x
and the next even integer = x+2
then x+(x+2)=126 like you stated above
you found x to = 62 so plug it in for x:
62+(62+2)=126
remember the entire sum inside the parentheses is equal to the next even number
do you see the answer you were looking for yet?
subtract 62 from both sides if you aren't sure
and the right side of the equation should now = 64
this means that 64 must be the second number, and that would make sense because its the next even number.
hope that helped.
let me know :)
