Three good friends are in the same algebra class. Their scores on a recent test are three consecutive even integers whos sum is 252. Find each score

Answer :

Answer:

Method #1:

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 252

3x + 6 = 252

3x = 246

x = 82, so 82 + 2 = 84 and 82 + 4 = 86.

The scores are 82, 84, and 86.

Method 2:

Median score = 252/3 = 84

Lowest score = 84 - 2 = 82

Highest score = 84 + 2 = 86

The scores are 82, 84, and 86.
