Question

The sum of three consecutive even numbers is 156. What is the smallest of the three numbers

Answer 1

50

Explanation:

I literally just finished doing this same math problem XD

Answer 2

We'll call the three consecutive even numbers n, n+2, and n+4.

n + (n+2) + (n+4) = 156
3n + 6 = 156
3n = 150
n = 50

The three numbers are 50, 52, and 54. Hope this helps! :)
