find three
consecutive positive even
integer whose sum is 90
Answers
Hey mate,
here is your answer with explanation -
Answer - 28,30 and 32
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Explanation -
Let the numbers be x ,x+2 and x+4
According to the question
x+x+2+x+4=90
3x+6=90
3x=84
x=28
x+2=28+2=30
x+4=28+4=32
Therefore, the three consecutive positive even integers are 28,30 and 32.
Hopefully it helps,
Thanks

ANSWER :-
- 28 , 30 and 32 are the three positive even consecutive integers whose sum is 90.
GIVEN :-
- There are 3 consecutive positive even integers whose sum is 90.
TO FIND :-
- The 3 consecutive positive even integers.
SOLUTION :-
Even integers are divisible by 2.
So , let the three positive consecutive even integers be 2x , 2x + 2 , 2x + 4 .
We know that , sum of these integers is 90.
→ (2x) + (2x + 2) + (2x + 4) = 90
→ 2x + 2x + 2 + 2x + 4 = 90
→ 6x + 6 = 90
→ 6x = 90 - 6
→ 6x = 84
→ x = 84/6
→ x = 14
So, Numbers are :-
- 2x = 2(14) = 28
- 2x + 2 = 2(14) + 2 = 30
- 2x + 4 = 2(14) + 4 = 32
Hence , the three consecutive positive even integers are 28 , 30 , 32.
VERIFICATION :-
Sum of these integers should be 90.
28 + 30 + 32 = 90
90 = 90 (verified)
