If the sum of three consecutive even numbers is 48 more than the average of these numbers, then the largest of these numbers is?	Choose the correct choice from the following answers:
A) 20
B) 24
C) 22
D) 26
E) 27
Explanation:   Let the smallest of these number be x. The other two numbers are (x + 2) and (x + 4).   x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = (X + (X+2) + (x+4)) / 3 + 48   3x + 3*(x + 2) + 3*(x + 4) = x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) + 144   9x + 18 = 3x + 150   6x = 132   x = 22   Therefore, the largest number is 26.
