Question

The sum of five consecutive even numbers is 0

Answer 1

As the difference between each consecutive even number is 0, let the even numbers be x - 4, x - 2, x, x + 2 and x + 4.

=> x - 4 + x - 2 + x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 0

=> 5x = 0

=> x = 0

=> x - 4 = -4

=> x - 2 = -2

=> x + 2 = 2

=> x + 4 = 4

So the consecutive even numbers are -4, -2, 0, 2 and 4.
