Question

the sum of three consecutive numbers is 42.find the numbers.
plz answer ​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

12, 14 and 16

let the three even numbers be x, x+2 and x+4.

Now it is given that their sum is 42

=> x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 42

=> 3x + 6 = 42

=> 3x = 42 - 6

=> 3x = 36

Hence, the first even term is 12

The other term are :

=> x + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14

=> x + 4 = 12 + 4 = 16

So the convective terms are 12, 14 and 16

hope it helps you
