Answer:
40 comic books
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the Jill comic books.
Given:
Jill sold half of her comic books and then bought sixteen more. She now has 36.
Therefore the algebraic equation of the given statement.
--------(1)
Now we solve above equation for x.
Subtract by 16 both side of the equation 1.
Multiply by 2 both side of the above equation.
Therefore, Jill had 40 comic books.
Here is your answer
REASON:
SSS congruency states that, if all the three sides of a triangle are respectively equal to the corresponding sides of another triangle then both triangles are said to be 
.
Here, in both triangles
7units=7 units
8units=8units
Middle side is common to both triangles so it is equal.
Hence, both triangles are congruent by SSS

The three numbers are 12, 18 and 24
Arithmetic progression
Let the 3 number in arithmetic progression be:
a-d, d, a+d ...
If their sum is 3, then;
a-d+d+a+d = 3
2a + d = 3 ........... 1
If the sum of their squares is 11, then;
(a-d)² + d² + (a+d)² = 11
a²-2ad+d²+d²+a²+2ad+d² 11
2a²+3d² = 11 ....... 2
Solving the equations simultaneously, d = 6 and a = 12
First-term = 12
second term = 18
Thirs term = 24
Hence the three numbers are 12, 18 and 24
