Question

The diffrence of three consecutive multiples of 8 is 888. Find it number

Answer 1

Answer:

The number is -456

the 2 no. is -448

the 3 no. is -440

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first no. be x

let the 2 no. be x+8

let the 3 no. be x+16

ATQ, x-(x+8)-(x+16)=888

         x-x-8-x-16=888

        -2x-24=888

        -2x=888+24

        -2x=912

         x=912/-2

         x=   -456
