Question

Three consecutive even numbers add up to 36. Select all of the following equations that will find the lowest number of the three.


x+(x+2)+(x+4)=36

(x+2)+(x+4)+(x+6)=36

2(x+1)=36

3(x+2)=36

3x=24

Answer 1

Equation A find the lowest number of the three. Equation A satisfies the given conditions.

What is even number?

If the number is divisible by 2 then the number will be an even number. Similarly, the number is not divisible by 2 then the number will be an odd number.

Assume the three consecutive integers are 2x,2x+2,2x+4

The sum of the three consecutive even numbers are 36;

x+x+2+x+4 = 36

3x+6=36

3x=30

x=10

The three integers are found as;

x =10

x+2 = 10+2 = 12

2x+4 =10+4=14

Hence, equation A find the lowest number of the three. Equation A satisfies the given conditions.
