Question

If the sum of three consecutive even numbers is 234 then the smallest among them is

Answer 1

Let three consecutive even numbers be = x, x+2, x+4

Sum, x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 234

3x + 6 = 234

3x = 228

x = 228/3

x = 76

3 consecutive even numbers are 76, 78, 80.

And smallest of them is 76.

Answer 2

Your answer !!

________________________________________

Let three consecutive integers be x , x + 2 , x + 4

According to the question !

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 234

3x + 6 = 234

3x = 234 - 6

3x = 228

x = 228 / 3

x = 76

76 , 78 , 80 first one is the smallest !
