The sum of three consecutive even numbers is 522. find the number

Answer: 172, 174 and 176

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they are even numbers,

Let x be the number, x + 2 be the second number and x + 4 the third number

can think of this as x + (x+2) + (x+4) = 522

so you get 3x=522-6

3x = 516

so x=172

If x is 172, second number is 174 and third number is 176
