The sum of two consecutive even integers is 226. what is the larger integer?

Hello there!

The larger integer is 114.

x + (x + 2) = 226  

Combine like terms

2x + 2 = 226  

Subtract 2 from both sides

2x = 224   Divide

x = 112

The two integers are 112 and 114. But they asked us for the lager integer. So 114 is the answer.

I hope this helps! As always, it is my pleasure to help students like you!

When rates are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 2 feet per second or 5 miles per hour, they are called unit rates. if you have a multiple-unit rate such as 120 students for every 3 buses, and want to find the single-unit rate, write a ratio equal to the multiple-unit rate with 1 as the second term.
