Question

The sum of three consecutive even numbers is 54. Find the numbers

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the sum of first consecutive even number be x. then, second consecutive even number be x+2 and third consecutive even number be x+4.

according to question,

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 54

or, 3x + 6 = 54

or, 3x = 54 - 6

or, 3x = 48

or, x = 48/3

x = 16

Therefore, 1st no. = x = 16

2nd no. = x + 2 = 16 + 2 = 18

& 3rd no. = x+4 = 16+4 = 20

Hence, the three consecutive even numbers are 16, 18 and 20 .

Answer 2

Answer:

17+18+19=54

Explanation:

Divide 54 by 3.

And now are near to your answer.
