Question

The sum of 3 consecutive even integers is 102. What are the numbers?

Answer 1

Numbers are `32`, `34` and `36`.

Explanation:

Let the three consecutive even numbers be `x`, `x+2` and `x+4`. Then

`x+x+2+x+4=102` or

`3x+6=102` or

`3x=102-6=96` and

`x=96/3=32`

Hence, numbers are `32`, `34` and `36`.
