Question

Find three consecutive positive even integer whose sum is 132

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smallest number be 2x (As x has to be even)

Then

The consecutive even numbers are 2x, 2x+2, 2x+4

A.T.Q

2x + (2x + 2) + (2x + 4) = 132

6x + 6 = 132

Dividing both sides by 6

x + 1 = 22

x = 21

The numbers are -----

2x = 2 × 21 = 42

2x + 2 = 42 + 2 = 44

2x + 4 = 42 + 4 = 46

The numbers are 42 , 44 , 46
