Question

The sun of three consective multiple of 8 is 888 find the multiple

Answer 1

Let the numbers be x, x+8,x+16

x+(x+8)+(x+16)=888

3x+24=888

3x=888-24

3x=864

x=864/3

x=288

x+8=288+8=296

x+16=288+16=304

So, the numbers are 288, 296 and 304.

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the first multiple of 8 be 8x. Also the third consecutive multiple of 8 will be 8(x+2). If we sum up these three multiples i.e (288 + 296 + 304) we get 888.
