Question

Find three consecutive even numbers

such that the sum of three times the
smaller number and five times the larger
number is 40 more than twice the median
number.

Answer 1

1, 4, 9

Explanation:

1 x 3 = 3

9 x 5 = 45

total = 48

median = 4

twice median = 4×2

= 8

sum = 8 + 40 = 48

48=48
