Question

The sum of consecutive even integers is 54.Find the integers.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The three consecutive even numbers are 16, 18 and 20.

Answer 2

Solution:

Let the first even number = x

second even number = x + 2

and third even number = x + 4

According to the condition,

x+x+2+x+4=54

⇒3x+6=54

⇒3x=54-6

⇒x=48/3=16

∴ First even number =x= 16

Second even number = x+2 = 16 + 2 = 18

and third even number = x+3 = 16 + 4 = 20

Hence, the three consecutive even numbers are 16, 18 and 20.
