Question

The sum of three consecutive multiples of 8 is 888. find the multiples.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

first number is x

second number is x+8

third number is x+16

now,

x+x+8+x+16=888

3x +24=888

3x=888-24

x=864/3

x=288.

x+8=296.

x+16=304

Therefore, three consecutive multiple is 288,296,304.

Answer 2

$\huge\boxed{\red{\bold{Solution}}}$

✍ let the three consecutive number be x, (x +8) , (x + 16 )..✌

⭐ x + (x +8)+(x+16) = 888

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

=> 3x + 8 + 16 = 888

=> 3x + 24 = 888

=>3x = 888- 24

=> 3x = 864

=> x = 864/ 3

=> x = 288

So , x = 288

⭐ (x + 8) = 288 + 8 = 296

⭐( x + 16) = 288 + 16 = 304

Hence ,

Three consecutive number be 288, 296 and 304..
