Answer 1

Hello mate
Here is your answer

Answer 2

Define x:

Let the first number be x

The second number will be x + 8

The third number will be x + 16

Form equation and solve for x:

x + (x + 8) + (x + 16) = 888

x + x + 8 + x + 16 = 888

3x + 24 = 888

3x = 864

x = 288

Find the multiplies:

1st number = x = 288

2nd number = x + 8 = 288 + 8 = 296

3rd number = x + 16 = 288 + 16 = 304

Answer: The numbers are 288, 296 and 304
