288. Find the multiples​

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer is 80

Step-by-step explanation:

let the first number be x+8

second be x+16

third be x+24

x+8+x+16+x+24=288

3x+48=288

3x=288-48

3x=240

x=240/3

x=80

Answer 2

Answer:

88 , 96 , 104

Step-by-step explanation:

Consecutive Multiples of 8 are following:-

8x + 8(x+1) + 8(x+2)

Given:-

8x + 8(x+1) + 8(x+2)=288

8x + 8x + 8 + 8x + 16=288

24x + 24 =288

24x=288-24

24x=264

x. =264/24

x=11. Ans

i) 8x =8 × 11 =88.

ii) 8(x+1) =8x + 8 =8(11) +8=96.

iii) 8(x+2)=8x+16=8(11)+16=104.
