Question

The sum of three consecutive multiples of 2 is 18. Find the numbers.explain ​

Answer 1

Given: Sum of three consecutive multiples of 2 is 18.

To find: Here we have to find the numbers.

Solution:

Let the numbers be x, x + 2 and x + 4

Now,

x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 18

3x + 6 = 18

3x = 18 - 6 = 12

x = 12/3

x = 4

Therefore the numbers are:

x = 4

x + 2 (4 + 2) = 6

x + 4 (4 + 4) = 8

∴ 4, 6, 8 are the other numbers.

Answer 2

Solution :-

${ \sf{ \color{black}{Let \: the \: number \: be \: }}} \: (x ), (x + 2) , (x + 4)$

$\implies \: (x) \: + (x + 2 )+ (x + 4) = \: 18\\ \implies \: 3x \: = 18 - 6 \\ \implies \: x \: = \frac{12}{3} \\\therefore \: x = 4 \\ { \sf{ \color{black}{Now \: putting \: the \: value \: }}} \\ x = 4 \\∴ x + 2 = 4 + 2 = 6 \\ ∴ x + 4 = 4 + 4 = 8 \\ { \sf{ \color{red}{Hence \: the \: numbers \: are \: }}} \\ { \sf{ \color{purple}{4 \:, 6 \: and \: 8 }}}$
