Question

What three consecutive even numbers add up to 102?

Answer 1

The answer to this question is 32,34,36

Answer 2

So first you have to understand what consecutive numbers are.
Consecutive numbers are numbers like 4, 6, 8, 10, or 16, 18, 20. 

So let's set up an equation, using x as the first consecutive number. 
x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 102
Then simplify:
3x + 6 = 102
Subtract 6 from both sides.
3x = 96
Divide 3 on both sides:
x = 32

So the first number is 32, which means the other 2 numbers are 34, and 36. 
To check our answer, let's put the numbers in the equation.

32 + 32 + 2 + 32 + 4 = 102
Yep! That's correct.

The answer is 32, 34, and 36.
