Question

The sum of three consecutive even number is 54 .Find the number

Answer 1

given x + (x +2) + (x +4)= 3x +6 = 54
3x = 54-6
3x = 48
x= 48/3
x = 16

Answer 2

Here is your solution

Let,
The first even integer be:x

Then the second even integer is:x+2

Then the third even integer is: x+2+2=x+4
Sum of three consecutive even numbers =54

A/q

(x)+(x+2)+(x+4)=54
3x+6=54
3x=54-6
3x=48
x=16

now

The first integer is:x=16

the second integer is:x+2=16+2=18

the third integer is: x+4=16+4=20

Hope it helps you
