Question

The sum of 3 consecutive even numbers is 120. What are the 3 numbers?

Answer 1

38

Explanation:

Let the 3 consecutive even numbers be - x, x+2 and x+4

x+(x+2)+(x+4)=120

3x+6=120

3x=120-6

3x=114

x=114/3

=38

Proof:

38+(38+2)+(38+4)=120 (replaced "38" in the place of "x")

38+40+42=120

120=120

Hope this helps
