Question

the sum of three consecutive even number is 96. Find the number

Answer 1

Let the three consecutive even numbers be x, x + 2 and x + 4

Given, their sum = 96


According to the question,

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 96

3x + 6 = 96

3x = 96 - 6

3x = 90

x = $\dfrac{90}{3}$

x = 30



1st number => x

➾ 30


2nd number => x + 2

=> 30 + 2

➾ 32


3rd number => x + 4

=> 30 + 4

➾ 34
