Question

Wrote and solve an equation that will help you find three consecutive even numbers that sum to 600​

Answer 1

198, 200 and 202

Explanation:

Represent the three consecutive even numbers by x, x + 2, x + 4.

Then:

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 600

Combining like terms, we get:

3x = 594, so:

x = 198

x + 2 = 200

x + 4 = 202

The three consecutive even numbers are 198, 200 and 202.
