let the one no be 8x so other two no will be 8x+8,and8x+16
from ques 8x+8x+8+8x+16=888
24x=888-24
24x=864
x=36 so no are 288,296,304
so multiples are 36,37,38 answer

Heya!!
________
#Let the three consecutive multiples of eight be x, x+8, x+16.
Hence:-
=>x + x + 8 +x + 16 = 888.
=>3x + 24 = 888
=>3x = 888 - 24
=>3x = 864
=>x = 864/3
=>x = 288.
=>x + 8 = 296
=>x + 16 = 304
=>Hence the three consective multiples that add up to 888 are:-
288, 296, 304
Hope this helps you ☺
