Question

The sum of three consecutive multiples of 13 is 585. Find these multiples.​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the three consecutive multiples of 13 be x

so the three consecutive multiples are x,x+13,x+26

=x+(x+13)+x+26)=585

=(x+x+x)+(26+13)=585

=3x=585-39

=3x=546

=x=546/3=182

so the three consecutive multiples are

x=182;x+13=195;x+26=208

182,195,208.

Answer 2

Hey mate, here is your solution

let the three consecutive multiples of 13 be x

so the three consecutive multiples are x,x+13,x+26

=x+(x+13)+x+26)=585

=(x+x+x)+(26+13)=585

=3x=585-39

=3x=546

=x=546/3=182

so the three consecutive multiples are

x=182;x+13=195;x+26=208

182,195,208.

Hope it helps you
