The sum of two consecutive even integers is 54.find the integer

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

26, 28

Discussion:

Let x be the smaller even integer. Then (x+2) is the next even integer and

x + ( x + 2)  = 54              => combine like terms

2x + 2 = 54                      => subtract 2 from each side

2x = 54 - 2 =>

2x = 52      =>

x = 26

Thank you,

MrB

step-by-step explanation:

120 seems like the most sensible answer.

step-by-step explanation:

if there is only one topping on all caramel apples and there's 120 of them. then all apples should/will be covered in sprinkles. make sense?
