Answer:
C The greatest of the three even numbers.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
k + (k+2) + (k+4) = 84
To Find:
The value of k as well as representation of k.
Solution:
Firstly we solve the given equation and then we further give the k represent answer.
k + (k+2) + (k+4) = 84
Adding all RHS side terms
3k + 6 = 84
Now, shift +6 to RHS side
3k = 84 – 6
Now, Subtract - 6
3k = 78
Transfer 3 to RHS Side
k =78/3
Divide the numbers
k = 26
Therefore the consecutive even numbers are 26,(26+2),(26+4) or 26,28,30.
So, from the above Answer we conclude that
C is the correct answer for this question i.e. The greatest of three even numbers.
