- consecutive numbers are x+2,x+4,x+6,x+8
avg=x+2+x+4+x+6+x+8/4=24
x=19
therefore largest number is x+8
19+8=27
ans is 27 - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- Let the numbers are x, x+2, x+4, x+6, then
=>x+(x+2)+(x+4)+(x+6)4=24
=>x+(x+2)+(x+4)+(x+6)4=24
=>4x+12)4=24
=>4x+12)4=24
=>x+3=24=>x=21
=>x+3=24=>x=21
So largest number is 21 + 6 = 27 - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- let us consider 4 consecutive odd numbers as (a-4), (a-2),a and (a+2)
((a-4) + (a-2)+a+ (a+2))/4 =24
a-1 =24
a=25
the consecutive numbers are 21, 23, 25 , 27
the largest number s 27 - 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
