Question

The sum of three consecutive even numbers is 252. what is the sum of the smallest and the largest numbers?

Answer 1

three numbers are
82+84+86=252

so sum of smallest and largest number is
=82+86=168

Answer 2

LET THE NUMBERS BE X,X+2 AND X+4
SO,X+X+2+X+4=252

THEN,3X+6=252
3X=252-6
3X=246
X=246÷3
X=82

SO THE NUMBERS ARE X =82. ,X+2=84,& X+4=86




CONCLUSION SUM OF SMALLEST AND LARGEST NUMBER IS=82+86=168
