Well, honey, the LCM of 6a and 8a is 24a. You see, you just gotta find the smallest number that both 6 and 8 can divide into evenly, and then slap on that 'a' like it's nobody's business. So, there you have it, 24a is the name of the game.
Do the numbers first. The LCM of 6 and 8 is 24. Choose the highest of the powers. The LCM is 24a^3

8a+48b=
The GCF is 8a.
8a-a-a = 6a
8a-3b = 5
8a - 15 = -3 8a = 15 - 3 8a = 12 a = 12/8 = 6/4 = 3/2
8A + (8A+8) + (8A+16) = 888 24A + 24 = 888 ===> 24A = 864 ===> A = 36 The multiples are 8A, 8A+8, 8A+16 = 288, 296, 304. Sum = 888.
