Question

The sum of three consecutive even number is 252. find the smallest and greater number

Answer 1

Let the smallest number be x
Then two consecutive even numbers are
x+2 and x+4

Given, x + (x+2) + (x+4) = 252
3x + 6 = 252
x = 246/3 = 82

Therefore, smallest number is 82
Largest number is 82+4 = 86

Answer 2

Here is your solution

Given:-

sum of three consecutive even numbers is 252

Let
Number be x,x+2,x+4

Now

A/q

x+(x+2)+(x+4)=252
3x+6=252
3x=252-6
3x=246
x =82

Hence Number are:-
x=82
x+2=82+2=84
x+4=82+4=86

The three consecutive even numbers are 82,84,86

Hope it helps you
