c) First part: 15, Second part: 23
d) First part: 5, Second part: 13

Answer 1

There is no solution to the problem of finding three consecutive natural numbers where one part is 8 more than the other.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to find three consecutive natural numbers such that one part is 8 more than the other. Let's assume that the first number is x. The second number will be x + 1, and the third number will be x + 2. According to the problem, one part is 8 more than the other. So, we can write the equation: (x + 2) = (x + 1) + 8.

Simplifying this equation, we have x + 2 = x + 9. Subtracting x from both sides, we get 2 = 9, which is not possible. Hence, there is no solution to this problem.
