Question

The sum of three consecutive even numbers is 72 find these numbers

Answer 1

Answer:

let first even number be x

second number be x + 2

( because consecutive even numbers have a difference of 2)

third number be X + 4

now

x+x+2+x+4=72

3x + 6=72

3x=72-6

3x=66

x=22

Step-by-step explanation:

So 1st number =22

2nd= 22+2=24

3rd =22+4=26

Answer 2

Three consecutive integers are x, x+2 and x+4, the sum of x+x+2+x+4 is equal to 72.....

=3x+6

=3x= 66

= x= 22

22+2=24

22+4=26
