Question

The sum of three even consecutive number is 222. What are the numbers?

Answer 1

2x + 2x + 2 + 2x + 4 = 222
6x +6 = 222
6x. = 222 - 6
x. = 216 / 6
x = 36

first number = 2x = 2*36 = 72
second number = 2x+2 = 72+2 = 74
third number = 2x + 4= 72 + 4 = 76

Answer 2

Hey!!!

$let \: the \: first \: no \: be \: x + 2$
$second \: no \: be \: x + 4$
$third \: no \: be \: x + 6$
$therefore$
$as \: per \: condition$
$x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 = 222$
$3x + 12 = 222$
$3x = 222 - 12$
$3x = 210$
$x = 210 \div 3$
$x = 70$

Therefore,

$first \: no \: = \: 70 + 2 = 72$
$second \: no \: = 70 + 4 = 74$
$third \: no \: = 70 + 6 = 76$
