Question

The sum of three consecutive even number is 78 find the number

Answer 1

HEY MATE☮!!

____$Ølution________


Let the three consecutive even no. be x , x + 2 , x + 4

Some of no. = 78


x + ( x + 2) + (x + 4) = 78

3x + 6 = 78

3x = 72

x = 72/3

x = 24

then,

x + 2 = 26

x + 4 = 28

The three consecutive even no. are 24 , 26 and 28


HOPE IT HELPS UH A LOT

Answer 2

Hey here is your answer

Let the numbers be a , a+2 , a+4
● a + (a+2) + (a+4) = 78
● 3a + 6 = 78
● 3a = 78 - 6
● 3a = 72
● a = 72/3
Therefore; a = 24

Then,
First even number = 24
Second even number = (a+2) = 24+2 = 26
Third even number = (a+4) = 24+4 = 28

24+26+28 = 78

Hope this helps...Pls it as the brainliest.
