Answer 2

Answer:

48 is the greatest number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sum of three consecutive even numbers is 138

let x be the smallest number, now x +2 is another consecutive number finally x+ 4 is the greatest number out of these consecutive numbers.

now x + x+2+x+ 4= 138

3x + 6= 138

3x= 138- 6

3x= 132

x = 132/3

x=44 is the smallest number

now x+4= 44+4= 48 is the greatest number.

This is the required answer.
