Question

the sum of 3 consecutive even
numbers is 252

​

Answer 1

Let the smallest of 3 consecutive number be X therefore other two consecutive number will be

x + 1 and x+2

therefore.

x + [x+1] + [ x+2] = 252

x+x+1+x+2= 252

3x+3 = 252

3x= 252-3

3x= 249

x =249/3

x= 83

Thus the smallest consecutive number is 83

therefore other two consecutive number are

x+1

83 +1 = 84

and

x+2

83+2=85

Answer : 83,84 and 85.
