Answer: The second number is 26


Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. Let's call:

x: The first even number.

x+2: the second consecutive even number.

x+4: the third consecutive even number.

2. So, you know that the sum ot the 3 consecutive numbers is 78, therefore, you must add them, as you can see below:

x+(x+2)+(x+4)=78\\3x+6=78\\3x=78-6\\3x=72\\x=\frac{72}{3}\\x=24

3. Substitute the value obtain into x+2. Therefore, the second number is:

x+2=24+2=26

Answer:

  x = 200

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply by 4:

  x + 120 + 2x = 720

  3x = 600 . . . . . . collect terms, subtract 120

  x = 200 . . . . . . . divide by 3

_____

<em>Check</em>

  (200/4 +30) +(200/2) = 180

  (50 +30) + 100 = 180

  80 + 100 = 180 . . . . . true

_____ _____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

If you like, you can simply work with the equation given.

  (3/4)x + 30 = 180 . . . . collect terms

  (3/4)x = 150 . . . . . . . . . subtract 30

  x = 200 . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 4/3
