Question

the sum of three consecutive multiples of 4 is 324 . find the multipes

Answer 1

$\huge{\underline{\bf{{AnsWer :}}}}$

Three consecutive mutiples of four are

➡ (x + 4) ; (x + 8) ; (x + 12) [Assuming]

✦ According to the question,

=> (x + 4) + (x + 8) + (x + 12) = 324

=> 3x + 24 = 324

=> 3x = 324-24

=> 3x = 300

=> x = 100

Therefore,

The numbers are :

➡ (x + 4) = 104

➡ (x + 8) = 108

➡ (x + 12) = 112

✦ Verification :

As it is told that there sum is equal to 324

Again,

=> (x + 4) + (x + 8) + (x + 12) = 324

✦ From the given values :

=> 104 + 108 + 112 = 324

=> 324 = 324

✦ Hence,

L. H. S. = R. H. S.
