The sum of three consecutive evennumbers is 72. What is the smallest ofthese numbers?

1 answer:

6 0

Answer: 23 , 24 and 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x , the second number x+1 and the third number x + 2 , this implies

x + x+1 + x + 2 = 72

3x + 3 = 72

3x = 69 x

x = 23

therefore the first number = 23

second number = 23+1 = 24

Third number = 23 +2 = 25
