Question

Set up equation and solve this the sum of three consecutive even numbers is 36.Find the number

Answer 1

Answer:

x+1+x+3+x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+9=36. 3x=27. x=9

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the ist even no. be x

The 2nd no. will be x + 1 and the 3rd no. will be x + 2

By the condition of the question

x + (x+1) + (x+2) = 36

3x + 3 = 36

3x = 36 - 3

3x = 33

Dividing both sides by 3 we get

3x/3 = 33/3

x = 11

Therefore the three consecative even numbers are 11 , 12, and 13 whose sum equals to 36..
