Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

$x + x + 8 + x + 16 = 888 \\ 3x + 24 = 888 \\ 3x = 888 - 24 \\ 3x = 864 \\ x = 288 \\ so \\ x = 288 \\ x + 8 = 296 \\ x + 16 = 304$

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..
