The sum of two consecutive even integers is 114. Find the two integers by writing and solving an equation using n to represent the smaller of the two integers. Explain your reasoning and show your work.

  56, 58

Step-by-step explanation:

If n is the smaller integer, n+2 is the larger of the two consecutive even integers. Their sum is 114, so we have ...

  n +(n+2) = 114

  2n = 112 . . . . . . . subtract 2, collect terms

  n = 56 . . . . . . . . divide by 2

  n+2 = 58 . . . . . . find the larger integer

The two integers are 56 and 58.

is this part of a question or something

the total estimated nappy use.=10,500,000

step-by-step explanation:

given that on an average the average baby uses 3528 napkins.

in a particular year 2014, the number of births were 299697 in new south wales.

rounding off the number of births to the nearest hundred thousand we have

no of birtsh = 300000

also rounding off the average usage to nearst thousand we get

average use of a baby = 3500

hence total number of nappy estimated to be used = 3500x300000

= 10,500,000

answer is 10,500,000 nappies
