Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the first multiple of 8 be 8x. Also the third consecutive multiple of 8 will be 8(x+2). => x = 36. If we sum up these three multiples i.e (288 + 296 + 304) we get 888.

Answer 2

Answer:

x+(x+8)+(x+16)=888

x+x+8+x+16=888

3x+24=888

3x=888-24

3x=864

x=864/3

x=288

=x:288

x+8=296

x+16=304

therefore,288+296+304=888
