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

Let the consecutive numbers are x, x + 1,x + 2, x + 4


According to the questions,


Sum of the Consecutive numbers is 336,


⇒ (x + x + 2 + x + 4 ) = 336


⇒ 3x + 6 = 336


⇒ 3x =330


⇒ x = 110


∴ The Consecutive numbers are


X =110,


2nd number =x + 2 =110 + 2 = 112


3rd number = x + 4 =110 + 4 = 114
