Question

The sum of 3 consecutive even number is 126 then the largest number is ​

Answer 1

${ \underline{ \underline{\huge \bold{AnSwer}}}}$

there are 3 consecutive even numbers.

Let smallest number be x

then, other numbers are

• x + 2
• x + 4

and it is given that sum of these consecutive even numbers is 126

➪ x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 126

➪ 3x + 6 = 126

➪ 3x = 126 - 6

➪ x = 120/3

➪ x = 40

so, smallest number is 40

then, other numbers are

• 40 + 2 = 42
• 40 + 4 = 44

therefore, largest number is 44

Answer 2

Answer:

40, 42, 44

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be the three consecutive even numbers be

x, x+2, x+4

So according to sum:-

x + (x+2) + (x+4) = 126

3x+6 = 126

3x = 120

x = 40

So the three even numbers are

x = 40

x+2 = 42

x+4 =44
