Question

The sum of tree consecutive even numbers is 276. Find the numbers.

Answer 1

Let the smallest of the 3 consecutive numbers be x.

Then the other two numbers are x+1 and x+2

Given the sum of theses numbers is 276

                                         x + x+1 + x+2 = 276

                                              3x + 3 = 276 

                                              3x = 276 - 3

                                              3x = 273

                                              x = 273/3

                                              x = 91.

∴ The required consecutive numbers are 91, 92 and 93.

Answer 2

Answer:

90, 92, 94

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x

Thus the second number will be x + 2 and third number will be x + 4

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 276

3x + 6 = 276

3x = 270

x = 90

x + 2 = 90 + 2 = 92

x + 4 = 90 + 4 = 94

Therefore the the consecutive even numbers are 90, 92 and 94
