Do-it-in-your-head method: The middle number MUST be a third of the total so 138 divided by 3 is 46, making your three numbers 44, 46 and 48. Shazam!
The simplest way is to solve 4n + 6 = 138 for the smallest of them.
The integers are 44, 46 and 48.

138 is already a whole number in simplest form.
The three consecutive even numbers with a sum of 138 are 44, 46 and 48.
Divide the sum of the three consecutive integers by 3: 138/3 = 46. The smallest of these integers will be one less than 46 and the largest will be one more than 46, so the three consecutive integers will be 45, 46, and 47.
136 + 138+ 140

The simplest way is to solve 4n + 6 = 138 for the smallest of them.
Let the first lowest number be x, then x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 = 138 4x + 6 = 138 4x = 138 - 6 4x = 132 x = 33 and the number are 33, 34, 35, and 36, add them and you will get 138
The integers are 44, 46 and 48.
33, 34, 35, 36
The equation to solve this is... x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 138 x + x + x + 2 + 4 = 138 3x + 6 = 138 3x = 132 x = 44 x = 44 x + 2 = 46 x + 4 = 48 So, the three consecutive even numbers that add up to 138 are... 44, 46, & 48
138 is, itself, an integer. It is impossible for any integer to lie between two consecutive integers.
45, 46 and 47.
To find 300 percent of a number, multiply the number by 3. In this instance, 3 x 138 = 414. Therefore, 300 percent of 138 is equal to 414.
