1.	The sum of three consecutive even numbers is 252. Findthem
Answer» ANSWER:- LET the numbers be 2x,2x+2,2x+4 Therefore, According to the given condition, $\sf \small 2x + 2x + 2 + 2x + 4 = 252$ $\sf \implies\small 6x + 6= 252$ $\sf \implies\small 6(x + 1)= 252$ $\sf \implies\small (x + 1)= 42$ $\sf \implies\small x= 41$ So, $\sf \small 2x = 2 \times 41 = 82$ $\sf \small 2x + 2 = 2 \times 41 + 2 = 84$ $\sf \small 2x + 4 = 2 \times 41 +4= <klux>86</klux>$ HENCE, the numbers are, 82,84 and 86.
