Question

the sum of three consecutive even number is 114 .find the number

Answer 1

let the measure of three consecutive X,X+2 and X+4.
sum =114
according to the question,
X+(X+2)+(X+4)=114
X+X+2+X+4=114
3X+6=114
3X=114-6
3X=108
X=108/3
X=36

Hence three consecutive number are X=36,X+2=36+2=38 and X+4=36+4=40

Answer 2

x,x+2,x+3=114
x+x+2+x+4=114
3x+6=114
3x=114-6
3x=108
x=108\3
x=36
