Answer 2

Answer:

The Numbers are 24,32 and 40.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Sum of the Consecutive multiples of 8 is = 96

To find :

The multiples

Solution :

Let the Numbers be as -

• x
• (x + 8)
• (x + 16)

★ $\boxed{\sf{x+(x+8)+(x+16)=96}}$

$\longrightarrow$ x + (x + 8) + (x + 16) = 96

$\longrightarrow$ 3x + 24 = 96

$\longrightarrow$ 3x = 96 - 24

$\longrightarrow$ 3x = 72

$\longrightarrow$ x = 72/3

$\longrightarrow$ x = 24

One Number = 24

$\rule{300}{1.5}$

★ Value of (x + 8)

$\longrightarrow$ 24 + 8

$\longrightarrow$ 32

Second Number = 32

$\rule{300}{1.5}$

★ Value of (x + 16)

$\longrightarrow$ 24 + 16

$\longrightarrow$ 40

Third Number = 40

$\therefore$ The Numbers are 24,32 and 40.
