Question

the sum of three consecutive multiple of is 60

Answer 1

As 'x' is the smallest number in the series,
therefore the smallest number is 18.
Thus, the next 2 consecutive even numbers should be 20 and 22.
18+20+22=60. Thus, this expression satisfies the statement that
“ The sum of 3 consecutive even numbers is60.”

Answer 2

hey friend,

here is ur answer...

Question.

The sum of three consecutive multiple of is 60?

Answer.

Find the mean of the three numbers.

60/3=20

The other two numbers must have a mean of 20 also.

The numbers are consecutive integers.

20-1=19 and 20+1=21 (19+21=40, 40/2=20)

The numbers are 19,20, and 21

19+20+21=60

Another way to look at this is...

If three numbers add up to 60, their mean is 60/3=20.

This is the same as having 20,20, and 20, but, you have three consecutive integers.

Take 1 from the first 20 (19) and add it to the third 20 (21); 19,20,and 21

hope it helps...
