Question

The sum of four consecutive even numbers is 292. What would be the greatest number?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the largest number be x.

Then the others will be (x - 6), (x - 4) and (x - 2).

Sum

= (x - 6) + (x - 4) +  (x - 2) + x = 292

= x - 6 + x - 4 + x - 2 + x = 292

= 4x - 12 = 292

= 4(x - 3) = 292

x - 3 = 292 ÷ 4 = 73

x = 73 + 3 = 76

∴ 76 is the answer.
