Answer 1

Answer:

the numbers are 14, 16, 18

Step-by-step explanation:

let the numbers x-2 , x , x+2

their sum = 48

ie,

x-2 + x + x+2 = 48

3x = 48

x = 16

x-2 = 14

x+2 = 18

alternative method

let the numbers x, x+2 , x+4

sum,

3x + 6 = 48

3x = 42

x = 14

x+2 = 16

x+4 = 18

Answer 2

Answer:

The consecutive even numbers are 14, 15 and 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first even number be x.

Let the first even number be x + 2.

Let the first even number be x + 4.

A.T.P.

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

=> x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 48

=> 3x + 6 = 48

=> 3x = 48 - 6

=> 3x = 42

=> x = 42/3

=> x = 14

The first number is 14.

The second number is 14 + 2 = 16.

The third number is 14 + 4 = 18.
