Question

the sum of three consecutive multiples of 8is888find the multiples​

Answer 1

Answer:

288+296+304

Step-by-step explanation:

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

288,296 and 304

Step-by-step explanation:

The required equation is

$8(n - 1) + 8n + 8(n + 1) = 888$

We need to solve for n

$24n = 888 \\ n = \frac{888}{24} = 37$

hence the numbers are

$36 \times 8 \: \: \: \: \: 37 \times 8 \: \: and \: 38 \times 8$
