Lets suppose the first multilple of 9 among those three consecutive multiples is xl(x-9)
=> Second consecutive multiple of 9 is x
=> Third consecutive multiple of 9 is (x+9).
Since according to the question,the sum of three consecutive multiple is 999.
=> (x-9) + x + (x+9) = 999
=> 3x = 999
=> x = 333
So the first multiple = x - 9 = 333 - 9 = 324
So the second consecutive multiple = x = 333
So the third consecutive multiple = x + 9 = 342

solution :-
Given:-
The sum of three consecutive multiples of 9 is 378.
Let the first number be x.
second number= x +9
Third number = x+9+9 = x+18
Now
x + x+ 9 + x+18 = 999
=>3x + 27 = 999
=>3x = 999 -27
=>x = 972/3
=>x = 324
first number = 324
second number = 324+9 = 333
Third number = 324+18 = 342
Thanks
