Question

The sum of three consecutive positive even integers is 180.find these number

Answer 1

Answer: 59,60,61

Step-by-step explanation :

let the first number be x

∴The other numbers will be x+1,x+2

∴A.T.Q

x+(x+1)+(x+2)=180

⇒3x+3=180

⇒3(x+1)=180

⇒x+1=60

⇒x=59

∴the numbers are 59,60,61

VERIFICATION:-

59+60+61=180

Answer 2

Answer:58, 60 and 62

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be (x-2), x and (x+2)

We have the sum of these three numbers= 180

That is,

(x-2) + x + (x+2) = 180

x - 2 + x + x + 2 = 180

3x = 180

x = 180/3

= 60

Hence the three numbers are

x - 2 = 60 - 2 = 58

x = 60

And x + 2 = 60 + 2 = 62
