Question

the sum of 3 consecutive multiples of 4 is 444 find the numbers

Answer 1

hi

The sum of 3 consecutive multiples of 4 is 444

let one number be x

then other 2

=>x +4 and x +8

lets form an euqtaion

=>x+x+4+x+8 = 444

=>3x + 12 = 444

=>3x = 444 - 12

=>3x = 432

=>x = 432/3

=>x = 144

other 2 = x+4:x+8

=>144+4:144+8

=>148 and 152

so the 3 no. are 144,148 and 152

hope it helps u

:)

Answer 2

Let (x-4), x, (x+4) be the multiples.

(x-4) + x + (x+4) = 444
                    3x  = 444
                      x  = $\frac{444}{3}$
                          = 148
                    x-4 = 148 - 4 = 144
                    x+4 = 148 +4 = 152

Thus, the multiples are 144, 148, 152
