Question

The sum of three consecutive even numbers is 522.find the number

Answer 1

Answer: 172, 174 and 176

Explanation:

Since they are even numbers,

Let x be the number, x + 2 be the second number and x +4 the third number

can think of this as x+(x+2)+(x+4)=522

so you get 3x=522-6

3x= 516

so x=172

If x is 172, second number is 174 and third number is 176
