Question

What is three consecutive even numbers whose sum is 96.

Answer 1

Let the three consecutive even numbers be x,x+2 and x+4

Their sum is 96

x+x+2+x+4 = 96

3x+6 = 96

3(x+2) = 96

x+2 = 96/3

x+2 = 32

x = 32-2

x = 30

»x+2 = 30 + 2 = 32

»x+4 = 30 + 4 = 34

Therefore, the three consecutive even numbers are 30,32 and 34.

Answer 2

let the numbers be x,x+2,x+4
therefore,
according to question
x+x+2+x+4=96
3x+6 = 96
3x=96-6
3x=90
x=90/3
x= 30
so the other consecutive even numbers are
x+2 =30+2=32
x+4=30+4 = 34
therefore the three numbers are 30,32,34
