Question 1/-
Question2/-
The sum of three consecutive multiples of 11 is 333.
The numbers
Let the numbers be x, (x+3), (x+6)
[As they are multiples of 3]
Now,
According to the question,
Their sum is 333
⇒ x + (x+3) + (x+6) = 333
⇒ x + x + x + 3 + 6 = 333
⇒ 3x + 9 = 333
⇒ 3x = 333 - 9
[by taking 9 to RHS]
⇒ 3x = 324
⇒ x = 324 ÷ 3
[By taking 3 to RHS]
⇒ x = 108
Now,
The numbers are
→ x = 108
→ (x + 3) = 108 + 3 = 111
→ (x + 4) = 108 + 6 = 114
----
Verification:
Their sum is 333
So,
108 + 111 + 114
= 219 + 114
= 333

[by taking 9 to RHS]
⇒ 3x = 324

Now,
The numbers are

→ (x + 4) = 108 + 6 = 114
Verification:
Their sum is 333
So,
108 + 111 + 114
= 219 + 114
= 333
