Question

The sum of three consecutive multiples of 12 is 468 . Find these multiples

Answer 1

let the no.s be x , x+12 and x+24

A/Q,

$= > x + x + 12 + x + 24 = 468 \\ = > 3x + 36 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = 468 \\ = > x + 12 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = 156 \\ = > x \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = 144$

therefore the 3 no.s are 144, 156 and 168
