Question

the sum of (-888),(-2020)and(-2092)is a)5000b)-5000c)4000d)-4000​

Answer 1

Let the three consecutive multiples of 8 be x,x+8, and x+16.

According to question, x+x+8+x+16=888

\Rightarrow3x+24=888⇒3x+24=888

\Rightarrow3x+24-24=888-24⇒3x+24−24=888−24

[Subtracting 24 from both sides]

\Rightarrow3x=864⇒3x=864

\Rightarrow\ \frac{3x}{3}=\frac{864}{3}⇒

3

3x

=

3

864

[Dividing both sides by 3]

x = 288

Hence, first multiple of 8 = 288,

second multiple of 8 = 288 + 8 = 296 and third multiple of 8 = 288 + 16 = 304.
