Answer 2

Given:

The sum of three consecutive multiples of 8 is 96.

To Find:

Find the multiples.​

Solution:

It is given that three consecutive multiples of 8 are 96, then we can express the three terms as,

8(x-1),8x,8(x+1)

Now we find the sum of the equation and equate it to 96 to find the value of x, that is

$8x-8+8x+8x+8=96\\24x=96\\x=4$

Now we have the value of x as 4, then we can find the terms which are,

8(x-1)=8*3

        =24

8x=8*4

    =32

8(x+1)=8*5

         =40

Hence, the multiples are 24, 32, 40.
