Sum of three consecutive even numbers is 68 more than the average of the numbers. Find the middle number?
Explanation
Let three consecutive even numbers be x, x+2, x+4
According to the question
= 3x+6-x-2= 68
= 2x+4= 68
= 2x= 64
X=32
So, the 3 consecutive even numbers are
x =32
x+2=34
x+4 =36
The middle number = 34
Hence, Option B is correct.
