The sum of two consecutive multiples of 17 is 391. find these multiples

Answer»

Let the two CONSECUTIVE multiples be 17x and 17(x + 1)


Given that SUM of two consecutive multiples is 391.


= > 17x + 17x + 17 = 391


= > 34X + 17 = 391


= > 34x = 391 - 17


= > 34x = 374


= > x = 374/34


= > x = 11.



Therefore, the REQUIRED numbers are:


= > x = 17(11)


= 187.



= > 17(x + 1) = 17(11 + 1)


= 204.




Therefore, the required multiples are 187 and 204.



Hope this HELPS!
