Example: The sum of three consecutive even numbers is 78. What is the smallest of these numbers?
Let us assume that the three consecutive even numbers are x, x + 2, and x + 4.
x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 78
3x + 6 = 78
3x = 72 implies x = 24
Check your answer: x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 24 + (24 + 2) + (24 + 4) = 24 + 26 + 28 = 78
Example: If the difference between two numbers is 38, and the ratio of two numbers is 6:5. Find the numbers.
Let the numbers be x and y.
Then x – y = 38 … Equation (1)
x : y = 6 : 5 … Equation (2)
From equation (1), x = 38 + y
Equation (2) implies => 5x = 6y
Put x = 38 + y in 5x = 6y Þ 5(38 + y) = 6y
228 + 5y = 6y implies y = 228
x = 38 + 228 = 266
The numbers are 228 and 266.
