Question

The sum of three consecutive multiples of 22 is 726. Find these multiples.​

Answer 1

Let the middle multiple be x

Others= x-22, x+22

Now,

x-22+x+x+22= 726

3x=726

x= 242

Multiples= 220,242,264

Answer 2

let the 3 consecutive multiples be

22(x-1), 22(x), 22(x+1)

sum is 726

therefore,

22(x-1) + 22x + 22(x+1)=726

22x - 22 + 22x + 22x + 22=726

22x + 22x + 22x = 726

66x =726

x=11

therefore,

multiples of 22 are 220,242 264
