Question

1. The sum of three consecutive even numbers is 246. Find the numbers.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that sum of three consecutive even number is 246.

Let, three consecutive even number are x,x+2 and x+4.

Now,

x+(x+2)+(x+4)=246

3x+6=246

3x=240−6=234

x= 234/3

x=78

Hence, three consecutive even number are,

x=78

x+2=80

x+4=82

Hence, this is the answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

80, 82 , 84

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one even number be A

Since they are consecutive they would have a gap of 2 so,

three numbers would be A , A + 2 and A + 4

Forming the equation,

A + A +2 + A +4 = 246

3A + 6 = 246

3A = 246 - 6

3A = 240

A = 80

Hence the numbers are 80, 80 + 2 , 80 + 4 = 80, 82 and 84
