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: 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.
