\"The sum of three consecutive even numbers is 150\" means that \"x%2B%28x%2B2%29%2B%28x%2B4%29=150\" or more simply \"x%2Bx%2B2%2Bx%2B4=150\". Let's solve this equation for 'x'.\r

\"x%2Bx%2B2%2Bx%2B4=150\" Start with the given equation.



\"3x%2B6=150\" Combine like terms on the left side.



\"3x=150-6\" Subtract \"6\" from both sides.



\"3x=144\" Combine like terms on the right side.



\"x=%28144%29%2F%283%29\" Divide both sides by \"3\" to isolate \"x\".



\"x=48\" Reduce.

So the solution is \"x=48\"
