  1. Answer:

    check the answer below!!

    Step-by-step explanation:

    let the numbers be 2x, 3x and 4x…

    (2x)^3 + (3x)^3 + (4x)^3 = 33957

    8x^3 + 27x^3 + 64x^3 = 33957

    99x^3 = 33957

    x^3 = 33957 ÷ 99

    x = 3√343

    = 7

    the numbers are,

    2x = 2×7 = 14

    3x = 3×7 = 21

    4x = 4×7 = 28

    So,

    14, 21 and 28 are the numbers…
