Math Problem Statement

the smallest 3 consecutive even numbers is 120 find their total 

Solution

Let's call the three consecutive even numbers as xx, x+2x + 2, and x+4x + 4.

Given that the smallest of the three numbers is 120, we can set x=120x = 120. Therefore, the three consecutive even numbers are:

120,122,124120, 122, 124

To find their total, we simply add them:

120+122+124=366120 + 122 + 124 = 366

Thus, the total of the three consecutive even numbers is 366.
