Question: If the sum of three consecutive even numbers is 660 find the other number?

Solution:

Let the number be x , x+2 and x+4.

Then,

x + x + 2 + x +4 = 660

3x + 6 = 660

3x = 654

x = 218

Answer- The numbers are 218 , 220 and 222.

Answer 2

let x be one of the even no.s
therefore, other 2 no.s are x+2 and x+4

according to the question,
(x)+(x+2)+(x+4)=660
x+x+2+x+4=660
3X+6=660
3X=654
X=218
therefore,X+2=220 and x+4=222
