Answer 1

largest integers of them is 20

Answer 2

Answer : 20

Step by step explanation:

Let the three consecutive even numbers be x, x + 2 and x + 4 respectively.

Hence, as per given condition,

x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 54

3x + 6 = 54

3x = 48

x = 16

x + 2 = 18

x + 4 = 20

Thus, the numbers are 16, 18 and 20.

Were asked to find the largest number, thus the least number is 20

Answer : 20
