Question

The product of two consecutive multiples of 8 is 768.
Write this statement in algebraic form.
What are the numbers.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

8x   8(x+1)   =  768

Answer 2

x(x + 8) = 768,  this is the statement in algebraic form.

The two consecutive multiples of 8 are "24 and 32".

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and (x + 8) be the two consecutive multiples of 8.

To write statement in algebraic form and

To find, the numbers = ?

According to question,

x(x + 8) = 768,  this is the statement in algebraic form.

Solve by inspection method,

x(x + 8) = 24(24 + 8) = 768

Comparing the value of x, we get

x = 24

∴ x + 8 = 32

Thus, the two consecutive multiples of 8 are "24 and 32"
