Question

The sum of three consecutive multiples of 3 is 867 find the numbers

Answer 1

Answer:

286 , 289 , 292

Step-by-step explanation:

let 3x,3( x + 1),3(x + 2) are three consequtive multiples of 3

their sum is 867

3x + 3(x + 1) + 3(x + 2) = 867

3x + 3x + 3 + 3x + 6 = 867

9x + 9 = 867

9x = 867 - 9

9x = 858

x = 95.3

3x = 3(95.3) = 286

3x + 3 = 286 + 3 = 289

3x + 6 = 286 + 6 = 292
