Question

if the sum of six consecutive even integers is 282, then what is the largest of the integers?

Answer 1

Answer:

44.5

Step-by-step explanation:

let smallest even integer be 2X

then rest integers are: 2x+1,2x+2,2x+3,2x+4,2x+5.

to find : the value of 2x+5(largest number)

solution,

a/q => 2x+2x+1+2x+2+2x+3+2x+4+2x+5=282.

=>12x+15=282

=>12x=282-15

=>12x=267

so,x=267/12 which Is not an integer...!

either My solution or your question is wrong..!
