Ineed with finding the numbers for question 2

Step-by-step explanation:

There might be a shorter way of doing this and a better one as well, but here is how I did it.

Let the three numbers be

Solution

Note that these three numbers are consecutive and even.

Twice the smallest number is 2 * (2n - 2)

20 more than the second number is 2n + 20

Now equate them.

2(2n - 2) = 2n + 20                           Remove the brackets.

4n - 4 = 2n + 20                                Add 4 to both sides

4n - 4 + 4 = 2n + 20 + 4

4n = 2n + 24                                       Subtract 2n from both sides.

4n - 2n = 2n - 2n + 24

2n = 24

Now stop
