Let the two consecutive multiples be x and x+6
So,
A/q=》》》x+ (x+6)=66
2x=66-6
2x=60
x=60/2
x=30
So the multiples are 30 and 36

Let the sum of two consecutive multiples be 6x and 6x + 6
Given that the sum of two consecutive multiples of 6 is 66.
6x + 6x + 6 = 66
12x + 6 = 66
12x = 66 - 6
12x = 60
x = 60/12
x = 5.
Therefore the 1st multiple = 6x = 6 * 5 = 30
The other multiple = 6x + 6
= 6(5) + 6 = 30 + 6 = 36.
The multiples are 30 and 36.

x = 5.
Therefore the 1st multiple = 6x = 6 * 5 = 30
The other multiple = 6x + 6
