Answer 1

Dear student,......Let the numbers be a, a + 2 and a + 4........ According to question,........ a + a + 2 + a + 4 = 33 => 3a + 6 = 33 => 3a = 27 => a = 9 First number = 9...... Second number = 9 + 2 = 11..... Third number = 9 + 4 = 13.....The mean is the average of the numbers. It is easy to calculate: add up all the numbers, then divide by how many numbers there are. In other words it is the sum divided by the count......Regards.
