Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

888/8=111 . Answer is 111

Answer 2

$Let \: x , (x+8) \: and \: ( x+16) \:are \: three$

$consecutive \: multiples \:of \: 8$

/* According to the problem given */

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

$\implies 3x + 24 = 888$

/* Dividing each term by 3 , we get */

$\implies x + 8 = 296$

$\implies x = 296 - 8$

$\implies x = 288$

Therefore.,

$\red{ Required \: three \: consecutive \: numbers}$

$x = 288$

$x + 8 = 288 + 8 = 296$

$x + 16 = 288 + 16 = 304$
