Question

Find the consecutive even number whose sum is252

Answer 1

Correct Question:

• Find the consecutive odd numbers whose sum is 252.

Answer:

$\large\bold\red{125\;and\;127}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the two consecutive odd numbers whose sum is 252.

Now,

We know that,

Consecutive odd numbers have difference of 2.

So,

Let's take the odd numbers as n and (n+2)

Therefore,

According to the Question,

We get,

$= > n + (n + 2) = 252 \\ = > 2n + 2 = 252 \\ = > 2n = 252 - 2 \\ = > 2n = 250 \\ = > n = \cancel\frac{250}{2} \\ = > n = 125$

Therefore,

$= > n + 2 = 125 + 2 \\ = > n + 2 = 127$

Hence,

125 and 127 are the required numbers.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

252/3 = 84

So, 84 is the average of the three even numbers. they are even numbers, so you need to add two and subtract two from 84 to get the three numbers.

84+2=86

84-2=82

Thus the three numbers are 82, 84 and 86.
