let the multiples of 8 be x,x+8,x+16.
there sum =96

according to question,
x+x+8+x+16=96
3x+24=96
3x=96-24
3x=72
x=72/3
x=24

the first multiple is x=24
the second multiple is x+8=24+8=32
the third multiple is x+16=24+16=40.

Answer 2

let the multiple of 8 are
x , x+8 , x+16

their sum is 96
i.e. x + 8 + x + 16+ x = 96

3x + 24 = 96

x = 24

answer is 24,(x +8)=32and (x + 16)=40
