Question

Find three consecutive even numbers whose sum is 114

Answer 1

Answer:

the consecutive of whose sum is 37,38,39

Answer 2

so , the three numbers whose sum is 114 is 36,38,40

explanation

therefore the first number be x because we need an even number.

the next two consecutive even numbers are therefore x + 2 , x + 4 ....

the sum of the three numbers together is 114 so

x + ( x +2 ) + x + ( x + 4 ) = 114

3x + 6 =114

3x = 114 - 6

3x = 108

(114-108 = 6 , so 6×6= 36)

x = 36

so,

X + 2 is equals to 36 + 2 = 38

X + 4 is equals to 36 + 4 = 40

hope this will help you

( these all are Even Numbers)
