Question

10. The sum of 3 consecutive multiples of 4 is 252. Find them.​

Answer 1

• the second number is 147 + 1 and the third number is 147 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 444 are 147, 148, and 149. We know our answer is correct because 147 + 148 + 149 equals 444 as displayed above.

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the smallest number be x, hence the others are (x+1) and (x+2).

x + (x+1) + (x+2) = 3x + 3 = 252.

Divide everything by 3 and you get

(3x + 3)/3 = (x + 1) = 252/3 = 84.

Hence the numbers are

83 corresponding to (x),

84 corresponding to (x+1) and

85 corresponding to (x+2) .

83 + 84 + 85 = 252.
