Well, isn't that a happy little math problem? Let's see, if we take 22, 23, and 24, and add them together, we get 69, just one more than 68. So, let's adjust slightly and take 21, 22, and 23 instead. When we add those up, we get a perfect total of 66. Just a couple numbers off from 68, but that's the joy of math - we can always make small adjustments to find the right answer.
Oh, dude, you're hitting me with some math now? Alright, let me break it down for you. So, if we're talking about three consecutive numbers, we can represent them as x, x+1, and x+2. When you add those up and set it equal to 68, you get 3x + 3 = 68. Solve that bad boy, and you'll find the numbers are 22, 23, and 24. Math, man, it's like magic but with numbers.
They are: 68+69+70 = 20768, 69 and 70.
64 + 66 + 68 = 198
33 & 35.
Let the first even number be x. Then the second even number would be x + 2, and the third even number would be x + 4. The sum of these numbers is x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 3x + 6. We set this equal to 204 and solve for x: 3x + 6 = 204 --> 3x = 198 --> x = 66. Therefore, the three consecutive even numbers are 66, 68, and 70.

They are: 68+69+70 = 20768, 69 and 70.

The three numbers will have a mean of 204/3 = 68. The two numbers are therefore 66, 68, 70.
66 + 67 + 68
5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 + 11 + 12 = 68
Answer: The even numbers are 62, 64, 66, and 68
64 + 66 + 68 = 198
The numbers are 33 and 35.
33 & 35.
Let the first even number be x. Then the second even number would be x + 2, and the third even number would be x + 4. The sum of these numbers is x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 3x + 6. We set this equal to 204 and solve for x: 3x + 6 = 204 --> 3x = 198 --> x = 66. Therefore, the three consecutive even numbers are 66, 68, and 70.
The idea is to add all three numbers, then divide the result by 3 (because there are 3 numbers).
Here's how you can work it out: First, let "x" be the first of those three numbers. We know that those numbers are three consecutive even integers, which tells us that the other numbers are "x + 2" and "x + 4". We also know that the three of them added together give us 210, so we can say: x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 210 ∴ 3x + 6 = 210 ∴ 3x = 204 ∴ x = 68 We now know that the lowest number is 68, which tells us that the other two must be 70 and 72. To check that, we simply add them together: 68 + 70 + 72 = 210 which confirms our answer.
