Question

The sum of 3 consecutive evennumbers add up to 1002. Find the threenumbers.

Answer 1

Let the three consecutive even number be,

x, x+2, x+4

Sum of the numbers is 1002.

`\begin{gathered} x+x+2+x+4=1002 \\ 3x+6=1002 \\ 3x=996 \\ x=332 \end{gathered}`

Hence, the numbers are,

332, 332+2, 332+4

Hence, the answer is 332, 334, 336.
