Question

2). The sum of three consecutive even numbers is 192. What is the smallest number? Greatest

number?

Answer 1

Smallest: 62

Greatest: 66

Explanation:

Let's call the numbers x, x+2, x+4

x + (x+2) + (x+4) = 192

add like terms

3x + 6 = 192

3x = 186

x = 62

So the 3 consecutive even numbers are 62, 64 and 66.

Add those and check that they equal 192.
