Question

the sum of three consecutive multiples of 8 is 792 .find these multiples.​

Answer 1

Answer:

32,40& 48

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x, y and z

Since they are consecutive, the numbers become x, x+1 and x+2

Also the numbers are multiples of 8

Hence the multiples are

8x,

8(x+1)=8x+8  

8(x+2)=8x+16

Sum=792

Therefore,

8x+(8x+8)+(8x+16)=792

8x+8x+8x+8+16=792

24x+24=792

24x=792-24

24x=768

x=768/24

x=32

Hence multiples are 32,40 and 48
