Question

The sum of 4 cosicutive number is 60.Then what is the sum of the square of those numbers.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The sum of four consecutive even numbers is 60. What are the squares of these numbers?

Let x = the first even number

Let (x+2)= the second even number

Let (x+4)= the third even number

Let (x+6)= the fourth even number

x+(x+2)+(x+4)+(x+6)=60 [Given]

4x+12=60 [Combine like terms]

4x=48 [Subtract 12 from each side]

x=12 [Divide both sides by 4]

x+2=14

x+4=16

x+6=18

12^2=144

14^2=196

16^2=256

18^2=324

Answer: 144, 196,256, and 324
