Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:The sum of three consecutive multiples of 8 is 888

Answers

 

Let the first multiple of 8 be 8x.

Therefore the second consecutive multiple of 8 will be 8(x+1)

Also the third consecutive multiple of 8 will be 8(x+2).

It is given that the sum of these three consecutive multiples of 8 is 888

=> 8x + 8(x+1) + 8(x+2) = 888

=> 8x + 8x + 8 + 8x + 16 = 888

=> 24x + 24 = 888

Take 24 on the RHS

=> 24x = 888 - 24

=> x = 864/24

=> x = 36.

Therefore First multiple of 8 be 8x = 8 x 36 = 288

Second Multiple of 8 be 8(x + 1) = 8(36 + 1) = 8 x 37 = 296

Third Multiple of 8 be 8(x + 2) = 8(36 + 2) = 8 x 38 = 304

If we sum up these three multiples i.e (288 + 296 + 304) we get 888.

hope this will help

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the sum of three:8

Consecutive multiple of x,x+8,x+16

x+x+16+x+8=888

3x+24=888

3x=888-24

3x=864

x=864/3

x=288

Consecutive number are x=288

x+8=288+8

x=296

x+16=288+16

x=304

ANSWER = 288,296 And 304..™
