Question

The sum of three consecutive even number is 48.Find the numbers

Answer 1

Let the three consecutive even numbers be x, x + 2, x + 4.
Given that the sum of these numbers =  48
x + x + 2 + x + 4= 48
3x + 6 = 48
3x = 42
x = 14
The numbers are 14, 16, 18 

Answer 2

Heyaa...


Let the consecutive numbers even numbers be x, x + 2, x + 4

According to the question,

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 48

3 x + 6 = 48

3 x = 48 - 6

3 x = 42

x = 42 / 3

x = 14

Therefore the number are x = 14 and x + 2 = 14 + 2 = 16 and x + 4 = 14 + 4 = 18
