Answer» Let the numbers be a-d, a and a+d According to first condition, a - d + a + a + d = 24 => 3A = 24 => a = 8 According to second condition, ( a - d) (a) (a +d) = 504 => a ( a^2 - d^2) = 504 => 8 [ (8)^2 - (d)^2] = 504 => 64 - d^2 = 63 => d^2 = 1 => d = 1 First NUMBER = 8 - 1 = 7 Second number = 8 Third number = 8 +1 = 9 |
