Answer:
The given case is impossible.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the
- First multiple be x
- Second multiple = x + 6
- Third multiple = x + 6 + 6 = x + 12
ATQ,
First multiple + Second multiple + Third multiple = 374
→ x + x + 6 + x + 12 = 374
→ 3x + 18 = 374
→ 3x = 374 - 18
→ 3x = 356
→ x = 118.6
The value of x should be NATURAL NUMBER. It should not contain decimals.
Hence the given case is impossible.
Thanks !

Let the three consecutive multiples of 6 be x, (x + 6) and (x + 12)
According to the question ,
The three consecutive multiples of 6 adds up to 374. So the equation we get,
→ x + (x + 6) + (x + 12) = 374
→ 3x + 18 = 374
→ 3x = 374 - 18
→ 3x = 356
→ x = 356/3
→ x = 118.6
