Explanation:

Answer 2

`\huge\boxed{Second\ Number = 42}`

Explanation:

Let the consecutive even numbers be x,x+2,x+4, x+ 6, x+ 8 and x+10

So, the given condition is:

x+x+2+x+4+x+6+x+8+x+10 = 270

6x + 30 = 270

Subtracting both sides by 30

6x = 270 - 30

6x = 240

Dividing both sides by 6

x = 40

So,

First Number = x = 40

Second Number = x+2 = 40+2 = 42

Third Number = x+4 = 40+4 = 44

Fourth Number = x+6 = 40+6 = 46

Fifth Number = x+8 = 40+8 = 48

Sixth Number = x+10 = 40+10 = 50
