Question

find the three consecutive multiples of 8 is 888. find the multiples.​

Answer 1

Answer:

8x + 8 + 8x + 16 + 8x + 24=888

24x + 48 = 888

24x = 888 - 48

24x = 840

x = 35

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

let the first multiple of 8 be 8x

,the second multiple of 8 be 8(x+1)

,the third multiple of 8 be 8(x+2)

8x+8(x+1)+8(x+2)=888

=8x+8x+8+8x+16=888

=24x+24=888

take 24 on the RHS

24x=888-24

x=864÷24

x=36

so,

8(x)=8(36)

=288

8(x+1)=8(36+1)

= 8(37)=296

8(x+2)=8(36+2)

=8(38)=304
