The sum of three consecutive even numbers is one hundred sixty - two.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alenkasestr [34]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

 52

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the smallest of the three numbers. Then the other two are (x+2) and (x+4). Their sum is ...

  x + (x+2) +(x+4) = 162

  3x = 156 . . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 6

  x = 156/3 = 52

The smallest of the three numbers is 52.

___

I like to work problems like this by considering the average number. Here, the average of the three numbers is 162/3 = 54, the middle number of the three. Then the smallest of the three consecutive even numbers is 2 less, or 52.

Alyssa, Bart and Meghan are
adoni [48]

Hi,

Essentially, we are saying that Alyssa gets 5 parts of the whole thing (140,000), Bart gets 3 parts of the whole and Meghan gets 2 parts of the whole. The sum total of their parts = the whole. So now we need to find out how much one part is. Thus,"one part" should be the variable. Substitute p for "one part", so Alyssa gets 5p, Bart gets 3p, and Meghan gets 2p. Since the sum of the parts = the whole, your problem sets up as:  5p + 3p + 2p = 140,000  -->  10p = 140,000 --> 10p/10 = 140,000/10  -->  x = 14,000.

Alyssa gets 5p or (5 x 14,000)

Bart gets 3p or (3 x 14,000)

Meghan gets 2p or (2 x 14,000)

If the whole was a loss, it would be a negative, and instead of getting money, they would lose money.
