The sum of three consecutive even numbers is 30. Find the middle number of the three?
Answer/Solution
25
Steps/Work
Three consecutive even numbers (2P - 2), 2P, (2P + 2).
(2P - 2) + 2P + (2P + 2) = 30
6P = 30 => P = 5.
The middle number is: 5P = 25.
ANSWER:D
(2P - 2) + 2P + (2P + 2) = 30
6P = 30 => P = 5.
The middle number is: 5P = 25.
ANSWER:D
