Question

the sum of three consecutive even number is 54 find the number ​

Answer 1

Answer:

first = 16 , second =18 , third =20

Answer 2

Answer :

• The three consecutive even numbers are 16 , 18 and 20

Given :

• The sum of three consecutive even number is 54

To find :

• The numbers

Solution :

• Let the first even number be x
• Let the second even number be x + 2
• Let the third even number be x + 4

And also Given that, the sum of three consecutive even number is 54 so ,

According To Question,

⇢ x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 54

⇢ 3x + 6 = 54

⇢ 3x = 54 - 6

⇢ 3x = 48

⇢ x = 48/3

⇢ x = 16

Then ,

• First even number = x = 16
• Second even number = x + 2 = 16 + 2 = 18
• Third even number = x + 4 = 16 + 4 = 20

Hence , The three consecutive even numbers are 16 , 18 and 20
