Question 156715
The sum of three consecutive even numbers is 150. Find the numbers. 
.
Let x = 1st consecutive even number
then
x+2 = 2nd consecutive even number
x+4 = 3rd consecutive even number
.
x + (x+2) + (x+4) = 150
3x + 6 = 150
3x = 144
x = 48 (1st consecutive even number)
x+2 = 50 (2nd consecutive even number)
x+4 = 52 (3rd consecutive even number)
