Question

There are three consecutive even integers with the sum of 60 what are the integers​

Answer 1

18, 20, 22

Explanation:

Let the three consecutive even integers be x, (x + 2) & (x + 4)

`\therefore \: x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 60 \\ \therefore \:3x + 6 = 60 \\ \therefore \:3x = 60 - 6 \\ \therefore \:3x = 54 \\ \therefore \:x = (54)/(3) \\ \therefore \:x =18 \\ x + 2 = 18 + 2 = 20 \\ x + 4 = 18 + 4 = 22 \\`

Hence, the three consecutive even integers are 18, 20, 22
