Question

The sum of two consecutive multiples of 7 is 777.find these numbers?

Answer 1

let the consecutive multiples of 7 =
7x-7, 7x, 7x+7

their sum = 777

7x-7+7x+7x+7 = 777
cancel -7 &+7
7x+7x+7x = 777
21x = 777

x=777/21
x=37

7x-7= 252
7x = 259
7x+7= 266

therefore the 3consecutive multiples of 7 are....252, 259, 266

Answer 2

Numbers are 252, 259, 266

Given : Sum of Three Consecutive Multiples of 7 is 777

To Find : Three Numbers

Step By Step Explanation :

The Three consecutive multiples of 7 will be $\textsf{x, x + 7}$ and $\textsf{x + 14}$. As their Sum is 777, We can write it as follows :

$\longrightarrow\textsf{x + (x + 7) + (x + 14) = 777}$

$\longrightarrow\textsf{x + x + 7 + x + 14 = 777}$

$\longrightarrow\textsf{3x + 7 + 14 = 777}$

$\longrightarrow\textsf{3x + 21 = 777}$

$\longrightarrow\textsf{3x + 21 - 21 = 777 - 21}$

$\longrightarrow\textsf{3x = 756}$

$\longrightarrow\textsf{x = 756/3}$

$\longrightarrow\textbf{x = 252}$

• Now Three Numbers are $\textsf{x, x + 7}$ and $\textsf{x + 14}$. Substitute the value of x in each and we get 252, 259, 266.

Therefore, Numbers are 252, 259, 266
