Question

The sum of three consecutive
multiples 8 is 888 find the
multiple.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the first multiple of 8 be 8x. Also the third consecutive multiple of 8 will be 8(x+2). => x = 36. If we sum up these three multiples i.e (288 + 296 + 304) we get 888.

IF IT'S CORRECT

Answer 2

Solution :

$\bf{\red{\underline{\bf{Given\::}}}}}$

The sum of three consecutive multiples 8 is 888.

$\bf{\red{\underline{\bf{To\:find\::}}}}}$

The multiples.

$\bf{\red{\underline{\bf{Explanation\::}}}}}$

Let the three consecutive multiples are;

x is the multiple of 8.

• 1st number = x
• 2nd number = x + 8
• 3rd number = x + 16

A/q

$\longrightarrow\sf{x+x+8+x+16=888}\\\\\longrightarrow\sf{3x+24=888}\\\\\longrightarrow\sf{3x=888-24}\\\\\longrightarrow\sf{3x=864}\\\\\longrightarrow\sf{x=\cancel{\dfrac{864}{3} }}\\\\\\\longrightarrow\sf{\orange{x = 288}}$

Thus;

$\underbrace{\sf{The\:1st\:number=x=288}}}}}\\\underbrace{\sf{The\:2nd\:number=x+8=288+8=296}}}}}\\\underbrace{\sf{The\:3rd\:number=x+16=288+16=304}}}}}$
