Answer 1

Answer: The numbers are 10, 12, and 14.

Answer 2

solution:

let the three consecutive even numbers be x,x+2,x+4 respectively,

According to Question,

x+x+2+x+4=36

or, 3x+6=36

or, 3x=36-6

or, 3x=30

or, x=30÷3

therefore, x=10

1st number=x=10

2nd number=x+2=10+2=12

3rd number=x+4=10+4=14
