Question

The sum of three consecutive even numbers is $336$. Find them.

Answer 1

Let the three consecutive even numbers be $x-2,x,x+2$.

Their sum is $336$.

Therefore,

$x-2+x+x+2=336$

$\Rightarrow 3x=336$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{336}{3}$

$\Rightarrow x=112$

The others numbers are $x-2=112-2=110$ and $x+2=112+2=114$.

Therefore, the three consecutive even numbers are $110,112$ and $114$.
