Favorite Answer
b the next even integer is found by adding 2 to the previous
even integer
c therefore x + 2 is next even integer
d i think you mean even integer
x + (x+2) = 118 2x + 2 = 118 2x = 116
x = 58 x+2 = 60
a same as 1
b same as 1 (but odd)
c same a 1 (but again odd)
d x+ (x+2) = 56 2x+2 = 56 2x = 54
x = 27; x+2 = 29
3. Additional Details
same as 1 and 2, but total is -298
x = -150 x+2 = -148
