If the sum of two consecutive even numbers is 54, which number is greater?
a :
26
b :
28
c :
30
d :
32
Explanation :
Let the first even number be x and the second x + 2.
x + (x + 2) = 54
2x + 2 = 54
2x = 52 -> x = 26
Large number = x + 2 = 26 + 2 = 28
x + (x + 2) = 54
2x + 2 = 54
2x = 52 -> x = 26
Large number = x + 2 = 26 + 2 = 28
