The sum of two consecutive even integers is 74. What are the two numbers?

Numbers- 36 and 38

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two consecutive even integers be x, x+2

x+x+2=74

2x+2=74

2(x+1)=74

x+1= 74÷2

x+1 = 37

x=37-1

x = 36

The two numbers are 36 and 38

x=-2

infinite number of lines, so there is an infinite number of equations.

step-by-step explanation:

there are an infinite number of line that passes through the point (-2,5)

x=-2   is one line that passes through the point

y = 5 is another line that passes through the point

(these two lines are perpendicular to each other).

since the number of   numbers are infinite and the slope is the ratio of two numbers,(change in y over change in x) we can have an infinite number of slopes.     our only condition is that it passes through the point (-2,5)
