Question

The sum of 3 consecutive even numbers is 132

Answer 1

Let the 3 consecutive even numbers be x, (x-2) and (x+2) respectively.

According to the question,

x + (x - 2) + (x + 2) = 132

or, x + x - 2 + x + 2 = 132

or, 3x = 132

or, x = 132 ÷ 3

or, x = 44

So, first even number = 44

Required third number = 44 + 2

= 46 (Answer)

Answer 2

let the no.s be x, x-2, x+2

x+ (x-2) + (x+2) = 132

x+x-2+x+2= 132

3x = 132

x = 132/3

x = 44

the no. s are x=44, x-2 = 42, x+2 = 46
