Question

Four positive whole numbers add up to 39 one of the numbers are a multiple of 7 the other three are equal workout the result when the four numbers are multiplied

Answer 1

Answer:

Number is 4536

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume;

Same number = a

Multiply of 7 = b

So,

a+a+a+b = 39

3a + b = 39

Use b = 7

3a + b = 39

3a + 7 = 39 (Not possible)

Use b = 14

3a + b = 39

3a + 14 = 39 (Not possible)

Use b = 21

3a + b = 39

3a + 21 = 39

a = 6

So,

Number is 6 x 6 x 6 x 21

Number is 4536
