Find three consecutive even numbers whose sum is 60.
Answers
the three consecutive even no. are 18+20+22=60
✫ Solution ✫
✫ Let us the first even number
be 2x.
=========================
✫Since the difference between
two consecutive even number
is 2, therefore, the second consecutive
number will be (2x + 2), and third
consecutive even number will
be (2x + 4).
===============================
✫ According to the question,
The sum of these three numbers
is 60.
=============================
So,
we obtain
================================
✫Hence, the first even number
is 2x = 2 × 9 = 18
===============================
✫ Second even number
is 18 + 2 = 20
================================
✫ and third even number
is 18 + 4 =22
===============================
So,
✫the the required consecutive even
numbers are 18, 20, and 22
