Three consecutive even integers have a sum of 30 . Find the integers.

Question

I need to now three consecutive numbers in order to get this answer right.

Answer 1

You can make an equation x + (x+2) +(x + 4) = 30.  Then by combining like items, you get 3x + 6 = 30.  Then solve, 3x = 30 - 6; then 3x = 24, and x = 8.  So the 3 numbers are 8, 10 and 12.
