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
