Question

find threee consecutive even numbers whose sum is 186

Answer 1

Let one of the even nos. be x.
so, other nos. are x+2 and x+4.

we have,
x+(x+2)+(x+4)= 186

⇒3x + 6 = 186
 
⇒ 3x = 180 

⇒ x = 60 

∴ The three consecutive even nos. are,
x= 60,
x+2 = 62, and
x+4 = 64

Answer 2

Hi friend,

Let the number be x
Second number be x+2
Third number be x+4

A.T.Q

x+x+2+x+4=186
3x+6=186
3x= 186-6
3x=180
x=180/3
x=60

Then,

One number is 60
Second number is 60+2=62
Third number is 60+4=64

The three numbers are 60,62,64.


Hope it helps...............
