Answer 1

Given :

The sum of three even consecutive number is 222.

To find :

The numbers

Solution:

Let the numbers are x+2, x+4 , x+6

The given sum is 222

=> x+2+x+4+x+6= 222

=>3x+12 = 222

=> 3x = 222-12

=> 3x = 210

=> x= 210/3

=> x = 70

=> so x+2 = 70+2= 72

=> x+4= 70+4 = 74

=> x+6= 70+6 = 76

so the numbers are 72,74, and 76.
