The average of four consecutive even numbers is 27. Find the largest of these numbers. |
|
Answer» Let the four consecutive even numbers be x, x + 2, x + 4 and x + 6. Then, sum of these numbers = (27 x 4) = 108. So, x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) + (x + 6) = 108 or 4x = 96 or x = 24. ∴ Largest number = (x + 6) = 30. |
