Question

the sum of three consecutive even number is 60 find the greatest of the three numbers​

Answer 1

Answer:

largest no.= 18+4=22

Step-by-step explanation:

x+x+2+x+4=60

3x+6=60

3x=54

x=18

Answer 2

Let the three consecutive numbers be x, x+2 and x+4
Now adding all the three numbers we get-

x+x+2+x+4 = 60
x+x+x+2+4 = 60
3x+6 = 60
3x = 60-6
3x = 54
x = 54/3

x = 18

x+2 = 18+2= 20

x+4 = 18+4 = 22

Therefore, the greatest of all is 22.
