Question

Find sum of three consecutive multiples of 3 and 36& find the numbers

Answer 1

Answer:The greatest of the three numbers is 15.

The other two numbers are 9 and 12.

Explanation:

The three consecutive multiples of 3 can be written as;

x ,  x + 3 and  x + 6  with  x + 6  being the greatest.

We know from the problem the sum of these three numbers equal 36 so we can write and solve for  x  through the following:

x + x + 3 + x + 6 = 36

3 x + 9 = 36

3 x + 9 − 9 = 36 − 9

3 x = 27  

3 x/3= 27/ 3

x = 9

Because we are looking for the largest we must add  6  to  x  to obtain the largest number:

6 + 19 = 15
