Question

The sum ofthree consecutive multiple of 9 is 795.Find these multiple

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the

• first multiple of 9 = x
• Second multiple of 9 = x + 9
• Third multiple of 9 = x + 18

We know that

• x + (x + 9) + (x + 18) = 795
• 3x + 27 = 795
• 3x = 795 - 27
• 3x = 768
• x = $\frac{ 768 }{ 3 }$
• x = 256

Multiples :-

• 256

x + 9 = 256 + 9 = 265

x + 18 = 256 + 18 = 274

:. The multiples are 256,265,274
