Algebra.Com's Answer #372707 by htmentor(1343)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! find all sets of three consecutive multiples of 4 whose sum is between 72 and 108 \n" ); document.write( "================================ \n" ); document.write( "Let n = the smallest number \n" ); document.write( "Then the other two numbers are n+4 and n+8 \n" ); document.write( "The sum is n + n+4 + n+8 = 3n + 12 \n" ); document.write( "72 <= 3n+12 <= 108 \n" ); document.write( "This gives \n" ); document.write( "72 <= 3n+12 \n" ); document.write( "60 <= 3n \n" ); document.write( "20 <= n \n" ); document.write( "3n+12 <= 108 \n" ); document.write( "3n <= 96 \n" ); document.write( "n <= 32 \n" ); document.write( "So n ranges from 20 to 32. This gives the following sets: \n" ); document.write( "20, 24, 28 \n" ); document.write( "24, 28, 32 \n" ); document.write( "28, 32, 36 \n" ); document.write( "32, 36, 40 \n" ); document.write( " |
