Hey,
Thanks for asking this question.
•Lets suppose first multiple number of 7 according to the question is P.
•So 2nd consecutive multiple of 7 = P+7
• 3rd consecutive multiple of 7 = P+14
But, according to the question,
P + (P+7) + (P+14) = 777
=> 3P + 21 = 777
=> 3P = 756
=> P = 252
&
=> P+7 = 259
&
P+14= 266
So three consecutive multiples of 7 are 252,259,266.
●Hope my answer helped.
