Question

the sum of two consecutive multiples of 6 is 66 . find these multiples. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the two consecutive multiples be x and (x+6).

Atq,

\: \: \: \: \: \: \: x + (x + 6) = 66x+(x+6)=66

= > x + x + 6 = 66=>x+x+6=66

= > 2x + 6 = 66=>2x+6=66

= > 2x = 66 - 6=>2x=66−6

= > 2x = 60=>2x=60

= > x = \frac{60}{2}=>x=

2

60

= > x = 30=>x=30

Hence, two consecutive multiples of 6 is 30 and (30+6) = 36.
