  1. Question:-

    • The sum of three consecutive multiples of 9 is 324. Find these multiples.

    To find:-

    • The three consecutive multiples of 9

    Solution:-

    • Let the consecutive multiples be x , x+1 and x+2

    • We are given that the sum of multiples is 324

    • As they are the multiples of 9 the equation formed will be:

    [tex] \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \red \leadsto \: { {\boxed{ \bf \: 9 \times x + 9(x + 1) + 9(x + 2) = 324}}}[/tex]

    [tex] \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \pink \leadsto \bf \: \: 9x + 9x + 9 + 9x + 18 = 324[/tex]

    [tex] \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \orange \leadsto \bf \: \: 27x + 27 = 324[/tex]

    [tex] \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \green \leadsto \bf \: 27x = 324 -27[/tex]

    [tex] \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \blue \leadsto \bf \: 27x = 297[/tex]

    [tex] \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: {\color{navy}{ \leadsto }} \: \bf \: 27x = 297[/tex]

    [tex] \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: { \color{brown}{\leadsto}} \: \bf \: x = \frac{297}{27} [/tex]

    [tex]\\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: { \color{yellow}{\leadsto}} \: \bf \: x = 11[/tex]

    • Therefore the required value for x is 11.

    Now the multiples would be

    • 11
    • x+1= 11+1=12
    • x+2 =11+2=13

    The multiples are 11,12,13

    [tex] \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \mapsto \: (9 \times 11) +( 9 \times 12) + (9 + 13)[/tex]

    [tex] \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \mapsto \: 99 + 108 + 117[/tex]

    [tex] \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \mapsto \: 324[/tex]
