Question

Q15. The sum of three consecutive even natural numbers is 48. Find the

greatest of these numbers.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the required even natural numbers is 48 . Clearly , 18 is the greatest among all these three even numbers

Answer 2

Answer:

18 ....pls mark me as brainliest

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's the three consecutive even natural numbers as follow ↓

1st even no. = x

2nd even no. = x + 2

3rd even no. = x + 4

Now,

According to the question ,

The sum of the required even natural numbers is 48 .

Thus,

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

=> 3x + 6 = 48

=> 3x = 48 - 6

=> 3x = 42

=> x = 42/3

=> x = 14

Thus ,

1st even no. = x = 14

2nd even no. = x + 2 = 14 + 2 = 16

3rd even no. = x + 4 = 14 + 4 = 18

Clearly ,

18 is the greatest among all these three even numbers .

Hence,

Required answer is 18 .
