Answer:
60, 72, 84
Step-by-step explain
Let's consider x as a variable that is common in all the multiples
the multiples are
- 12x
- 12(x+1)
- 12(x + 2)
= 12x + 12x + 12 + 12x + 24 = 216
= 36x = 216 - 36
= x = 180/36
= x = 5
∴ the numbers are
=
- 12x = 12 X 5 = 60
- 12(x+1) = 12 X 6 = 72
- 12(x + 2) = 12 X 7 = 84
