Math Problem Statement
Solution
To find the largest of three consecutive even numbers whose sum is 408, we can follow these steps:
-
Let's denote the three consecutive even numbers as , , and .
-
Write an equation for their sum:
-
Combine like terms:
-
Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation:
-
Divide both sides by 3:
-
The three consecutive even numbers are , , and .
Therefore, the largest number is .
