Question

The sum of four consecutive even numbers is 60. what is the sum of their squares ?

Answer 1

let the consecutive even numbers are
x+2,x+4,x+6and x+8 their sum is 60 then
4x+20=60
4x=60/20
4x=3
x=3/4
the numbers are
11/4,19/4,26/4and35/4 now their squares are
121/16,361/16,676/16and 1225/4
their sum is 2383/16

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) + (x + 6) = 60

4x + 12 = 60

      -12   -12

4x = 48

4x/4 = 48/4

x = 12

12 + 2 = 14

12 + 4 = 16

12 + 6 = 18

Answer: 12, 14, 16, 18
