Find the three consecutive even numbers such that the sum of the first and the third is twice the second
=============================================================================
2,4,6 meet the requirement…. but so do any three consecutive even numbers.
—
Sum of 1st and 3rd is
x + (x+4) = 2x+4
and
2x+4 = 2(x+2) ( x+2 is the middle number )
