Question

The sum of three consecutive even number is 78 . Find the number​

Answer 1

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

THE NUMBERS ARE-

• 24
• 26
• 28

Step-by-step explanation:

let the first number be x

second number be x + 1

and third number be x +2

A/Q

x+x+1+x+2=78

=>3x+3=78

=> 3x = 78 - 3

=> x = 75/3

=> 15

Now

1st no.= 15

2nd no,= 15+1=16

3rd no.= 15+2 = 17

BUT!!

WE NEED 3 CONSECUTIVE EVEN NUMBERS!!

TO MAKE IT EVEN WE CAN DECREASE THE 1ST NUMBER AND INCREASE THE 3RD NUMBER

SO THEREFORE,

1ST NO.= 15-1=14

AND

3RD NO.= 17+1=18

( TO BRING THE VALUE WE ADD 10 TO EACH OF THE NUMBER )

SO THEREFORE ,

The sum of three consecutive even number is 78 ARE-

• 24
• 26
• AND 28

WE CAN VERIFY BY ADDING THESE ( 24 + 26 + 28 = 78 )

HOPE IT HELPS YOU!!
