Let the first number be x
The second number is x + 2
The third number is x + 4
x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 270
3x = 270 - 6
x = 88
x is not prime so there is no first number!

<h2>Jimmy is 16 old.</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
J - the age of Jimmy John
50 - the age of Papa John
3J + 2 - the age of Papa John
The euaqtion:
3J + 2 = 50 <em>subtract 2 from both sides</em>

3J = 48 <em>divide both sides by 3</em>
3J/3 = 48/3
J = 16
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 2x + 3x = 180 (Interior angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees)
=> 6x = 180
Dividing both sides by 6
=> x = 180 / 6
=> x = 30
