Answer 1

✽ Question ✽

The sum of three consecutive even number is 186. Find the largest number.

✽ To find ✽

The largest number.

✽ Solution ✽

Let the numbers are x, (x+2) and (x+4).

According to condition,

x + (x+2) + (x+4) = 186

→ x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 186

→ 3x + 6 = 186

→ 3x = 186 - 6

→ 3x = 180

→ x = 180/3

→ x = 60

✽ Hence ✽

x = 60

Largest number = (x+4) = (60+4) = 64

✽ Therefore ✽

The largest number is 64.

Hope this helps you.
