The sum of three consecutive even numbers is 150. Find the numbers. I would like to know how to set this up to solve?
------------------
The hard way:
n = 1st number
n+2 = 2nd
n+4 = 3rd
-----------
n + n+2 + n+4 = 150
3n + 6 = 150
3n = 144
n = 48
--> 48, 50, 52
-------------------
-------------------
Easy way:
150/3 = 50, the middle number
--> 48, 50, 52
