Answer:
42,44,46
Step-by-step explanation:
we first divide the 132 by the 3 which gives 44
since the numbers involved are even numbers and we know even numbers are numbers divisible by 2 we subtract 2 from the 44 and also add 2 to the 44 the get the rest of the two numbers which is from the above explanation
(44-2),44,(44+2)
42,44,46
we can check whether the above numbers are correct by adding to see whether we get 132
42+44+46=132 which are consecutive even numbers
Answer: 42, 44, and 46
Explanation: Make sure you read through the problem carefully so that you recognize that we are dealing with consecutive even numbers here.
So we can represent our numbers as follows.
X ⇒ first even integer
X + 2 ⇒ second even integer
X + 4 ⇒ third even integer
Since their sum is 132, our equation reads x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 132.
Solving from here, we find that x = 42.
So x + 2 is 44 and x + 4 is 46.
