Question

The sum of three consecutive multiples of 6 is 666​

Answer 1

Answer:

the numbers are

216 ,

222,

228

Step-by-step explanation:

let number be 6×x, 6×(x+1), 6× (x+2)

Then

6x + 6(x +1) + 6 (x+2) = 666

6x + 6x + 6 + 6x + 12 = 666

18x + 6 + 12 = 666

18x +18 = 666

18x = 666 - 18

= 648

x = 648 ÷ 18

= 36

so the numbers are

6x = 6 ×36 = 216

6(x +1) = 6 ×(36 +1) = 222

6(x +2) = 6 ×(36 +2) = 228
