Question

The sum of three consecutive multiples of 8 is 456. Find these multiples.

Answer 1

Answer:

x+8+x+16+x+24=456

3x+48=456

3x=456-48

3x=408

x=408/3

x=136

Answer 2

Answer:

144, 152, 160

Step-by-step explanation:

consecutive multiple of 8 means

x,x+8,x+16

x + x + 8 + x + 16 = 456

3x + 24 = 456

3x = 456 - 24

3x = 432

x = 432/3

x = 144

So the numbers are

144,

144 + 8 = 152,

144 + 16 = 160
