the multiples
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :-
The sum of three consecutive multiples of 9 is 297.
To Find :-
Find the numbers.
Solution :-
~Here, we’re given that sum of three consecutive multiples of 9 is 297. We can find out the multiples by making an equation satisfying the given condition and then solve it.
_____________
Let the multiples be
x
x + 9
x + 18
_____________
ATQ ::
\sf \implies ( x ) + ( x + 9 ) + ( x + 18 ) = 297⟹(x)+(x+9)+(x+18)=297
\sf \implies x + x + 9 + x + 18 = 297⟹x+x+9+x+18=297
\sf \implies 3x + 27 = 297⟹3x+27=297
\sf \implies 3x = 297 - 27⟹3x=297−27
\sf \implies 3x = 270⟹3x=270
\sf \implies x = \dfrac{270}{3}⟹x=
3
270
\sf \implies x = 90⟹x=90
_____________
Therefore ,
Multiples are 90 , 99 , 108
_____________
Verification :-
~We’re given that their sum is 297 . Then sum of 90 , 99 and 108 must be 297.
\sf \implies 90 + 99 + 108 = 297⟹90+99+108=297
\sf \implies 297 = 297⟹297=297
LHS = RHS
Hence , the answer is correct ☑
hope u understood.
