Sparky · Answer 1

I think the answer is 108 here is the work

add the two and you'll get the sum which is 218

x + (x+2) = 218

2x+2=218 <--subtract 2 from both sides

(2x+2) - 2 = (218) - 2

2x=216 <--divide both sides by 2

=

x=108

108 and 110

They are consecutive even numbers.

If you combined them, you'd get 218.
