Question

the sum of three consecutive multiple of 7 is 777. find the number​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the three consecutive number

=x,x+1,x+2

according to question

7(x+x+1+x+2)=777

=>3x+3=777/7=111

=>3x=111-3=108

=>x=108/3=36

the numbers are

x=36

x+1=36+1=37

x+2=36+2=38

three consecutive numbers are

36,37,38

Answer 2

Numbers are 252, 259, 266

Given : Sum of Three Consecutive Multiples of 7 is 777

To Find : Three Numbers

Step By Step Explanation :

The Three consecutive multiples of 7 will be $\textsf{x, x + 7}$ and $\textsf{x + 14}$. As their Sum is 777, We can write it as follows :

$\longrightarrow\textsf{x + (x + 7) + (x + 14) = 777}$

$\longrightarrow\textsf{x + x + 7 + x + 14 = 777}$

$\longrightarrow\textsf{3x + 7 + 14 = 777}$

$\longrightarrow\textsf{3x + 21 = 777}$

$\longrightarrow\textsf{3x + 21 - 21 = 777 - 21}$

$\longrightarrow\textsf{3x = 756}$

$\longrightarrow\textsf{x = 756/3}$

$\longrightarrow\textbf{x = 252}$

• Now Three Numbers are $\textsf{x, x + 7}$ and $\textsf{x + 14}$. Substitute the value of x in each and we get 252, 259, 266.

Therefore, Numbers are 252, 259, 266
