The sum of three consecutive even numbers is 78 What is the first number a 24 b 26 c 28 d 30?
The easiest way to solve this problem is to look at the sets of numbers beginning with each of the numbers given. Choice A begins with the number 24, so add the three consecutive even numbers beginning with 24, that is, 24 + 26 + 28. The sum of these numbers is 78, so the answer is choice A: 24.
