Find Middle (Average) Number

For an odd number of consecutive terms in arithmetic progression, the average equals the exact middle term: $\text{Middle (3rd) term} = \frac{3720}{5} = 744$

$\text{Middle term} = 744$

Identify All Five Numbers

The consecutive even numbers are: $740, \; 742, \; 744, \; 746, \; 748$ • 3rd largest number $= 744$ • Largest number $= 748$

Numbers are 744 and 748

Calculate Requested Sum

$\text{Sum} = 744 + 748 = 1,492$

$\text{Sum} = 1,492$
