Question

The sum of 3 consecutive even

numbers is 78.
Write the variable representation for each of
the three numbers in this sequence.

Answer 1

The variable representation is x, x+2 and x+4 for this sequence.

Explanation:

Given that:

The sum of 3 consecutive even numbers is 78.

Let,

The first even number is represented by x.

As the numbers are consecutive, thus,

First even number = x

Second even number = x+2

Third even number = x+4

Hence,

The variable representation is x, x+2 and x+4 for this sequence.
