Find the three consecutive even number whose sum is 234.

Answer»

Let the three consecutive numbers be 2x, (2x+2) and (2x+4)

According to the question we can write as 2x+2x+2+2x+4=234

On simplifying we get 6x+6=234

On rearranging we get

6x=234-6

6x=228

x=228/6=38

So the numbers are (2x) = 76

(2x+2)=78

(2x+4)=80
