Question

The sum of three consecutive even natural number is 48 . Find the greatest of these numbers​

Answer 1

Given :

• The sum of three consecutive even natural number is 48.

To find :

• The greatest number

According to the question,

→ x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 48

→ x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 48

→ 3x + 6 = 48

→ 3x = 48 - 6

→ 3x = 42

→ x = 42 ÷ 3

.°. x = 14

_____________...

Value of x :

⟹ x

⟹ 14

_____________...

Value of x + 2 :

⟹ x + 2

⟹ 14 + 2

⟹ 16

_____________...

Value of x + 4 :

⟹ x + 4

⟹ 14 + 4

⟹ 18

So,the greatest number is 18...
