Question

The sum of the 3 conse cutive multiples of 8 is 792 . Find these multiples

Answer 1

Answer:

Since the numbers are multiples of 8 so if I take the smallest multiple as x then other multiples= x+8, x+16

hence, 792= x+x+8+x+16

= 792= 3x+ 24

= 792-24=  3x

=768/3=x

=x=256

The number hence are, 256, 256+8=264, 256+16=272
