Question

find three consecutive even numbers whose sum is 222​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let one number be x.

Others number will be x+1,x+2.

According to question,

x+x+1+x+2 = 222

3x + 3 = 222

3x = 219

x = 73

Hence three consequetive number are 73,74,75

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

SoluTion:

Here it is given that sum of three even integers is 222.

Let the three even consecutive integers be x, x+2 and x+4.

$\therefore$ x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 222

$\implies$ 3x + 6 = 222

$\implies$ 3x = 222 - 6

$\implies$ 3x = 216

$\implies$ x = $\dfrac{216}{3}$

$\implies$ x = 72

Hence, even consecutive integers are 72, 74 and 76.

VerificaTion:

72 + 72 + 2 + 72 + 4 = 222

→ 222 = 222

Hence verified.
