Answer :-
- The three consecutive even numbers are 80, 82 and 84.
Step-by-step explanation:
To Find :-
- The three consecutive even numbers whose sum is 246.
Solution:
Given that,
- The sum of three consecutive even numbers = 246
Assumption: Let us assume the three consecutive even numbers as "(x)", "(x+2)" and "(x+4)"
Also given,
- (x) + (x+2) + (x+4) = 246
=> (x) + (x+2) + (x+4) = 246
=> x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 246
=> x + x + x + 2 + 4 = 246
=> 3x + 2 + 4 = 246
=> 3x + 6 = 246
=> 3x = 246 - 6
=> 3x = 240
=> x = 240/3
=> x = 80
Hence, The value of x is 80. Now, the numbers
are :-
The number which we assumed as "x"
=> x
=> 80
The number which we assumed as "(x+2)"
=> (x+2)
=> (80+2)
=> 82
The number which we assumed as "(x+4)"
=> (x+4)
=> (80+4)
=> 84
Therefore, The three consecutive even numbers are 80, 82 and 84.
