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.

hope that helps ✌

Answer 2

⚫Let the first multiple of 8 be x+8

⚫second one be x + 16

⚫third one be x + 24

x+8 + x + 16 + x + 24 = 888

3x + 48 = 888

3x = 888 - 48

3x = 840

x = ⏬⏬

$\frac{840}{3}$

x = 280

x+8 = 280 + 8

= 288

x + 16 = 280 + 16

= 296

x + 24 = 280 + 24

= 308
