Question

Q10. The sum of three
consecutive even numbers is 66.
Find the smallest and the largest
number.​

Answer 1

Answer:

20 and 24

Step-by-step explanation:

let the three consecutive even numbers be-

x , x+2 ,x+4

Sum = 66

x + x+2 +x+4 =66

x+x+x+2+4 =66

3x+6=66

3x=66-6

3x=60

x=60 divided by 3

x = 20

1)the smallest number

x=20

2)The largest number

x+4

=20 +4

24

Thus the smallest number =20

Thus the largest number = 24

Answer 2
