Question

find three consecutive even natural numbers whose sum is 87

Answer 1

Let the number be x, x + 2 and x + 4



According to the question,

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 87

3x + 6 = 87

3x = 87 - 6

3x = 81

x = $\frac{81}{3}$

x = 27


1st number = 27

2nd number = x + 2 = 27 + 2 = 29

3rd number = x + 4 = 27 + 4 = 31

Let,
The number be x, x + 2 and x + 4

A/q

➡x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 87

➡3x + 6 = 87

➡3x = 87 - 6

➡3x = 81

x = 81/3​ 

x = 27

$\huge\underline{\purple{\bold{Now}}}$

➡1st number = X=27↩

➡2nd number = x + 2 = 27 + 2 = 29↩

➡3rd number = x + 4 = 27 + 4 = 31↩
