Question

The sum of three consecutive multiples
Of 7 is 777. find these multiples​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the three consecutive multiples be x,x+7,x+14

According to the question :-

= x+x+7+x+14=777

= 3x+21 =777

= 3x. = 777-21

= 3x = 756

= x = 756/3

= x=252

so, the three consecutive multiples of 7:-

x=252

x+7=252+7=259

x+14=252+14=266

Hope this will be helpful .

Answer 2

Numbers are 252, 259, 266

Given : Sum of Three Consecutive Multiples of 7 is 777

To Find : Three Numbers

Step By Step Explanation :

The Three consecutive multiples of 7 will be $\textsf{x, x + 7}$ and $\textsf{x + 14}$. As their Sum is 777, We can write it as follows :

$\longrightarrow\textsf{x + (x + 7) + (x + 14) = 777}$

$\longrightarrow\textsf{x + x + 7 + x + 14 = 777}$

$\longrightarrow\textsf{3x + 7 + 14 = 777}$

$\longrightarrow\textsf{3x + 21 = 777}$

$\longrightarrow\textsf{3x + 21 - 21 = 777 - 21}$

$\longrightarrow\textsf{3x = 756}$

$\longrightarrow\textsf{x = 756/3}$

$\longrightarrow\textbf{x = 252}$

• Now Three Numbers are $\textsf{x, x + 7}$ and $\textsf{x + 14}$. Substitute the value of x in each and we get 252, 259, 266.

Therefore, Numbers are 252, 259, 266
