Question

i The sum of three consecutive even numbers is
36. What are the numbers?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the 1st even number be x.

Let the 2nd consecutive number be x+2.

Let the 3rd consecutive number be x+4.

Sum of the even consecutive numbers = 36.

According to question:-

x+x+2+x+4 = 36.

=> 3x+6 = 36.

=> 3x = 36-6.

=> x = 30/3.

=> x = 10.

1st even no. = 10.

2nd even consecutive number = x+2 = 10+2 = 12.

3rd even consecutive number = x+4 = 10+4 = 14.
