Answer 2

Let the three even consecutive number be x , x + 2 ,x + 4

According to the question,

Three even consecutive number whose sum = 48

x + ( x + 2 ) + ( x + 4 ) = 48

⇒ 3x + 6 = 48

⇒ 3x = 48 - 6

⇒ 3x = 42

⇒ x = 42/3

⇒ x = 14

Now,

Three even consecutive numbers are :

• x = 14

• x + 2 = 14 + 2 = 16

• x + 4 = 14 + 4 = 18

Check:

Three even consecutive number whose sum = 48

⇒ x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 48

Putting the value of x, we get

⇒ 14 + 14 + 2 + 14 + 4 = 48

⇒ 42 + 6 = 48

⇒ 48 = 48
