    X will be the smallest number in the set. Let's make an equation for the second smallest, third smallest, and largest.

    x+8 = second smallest

    x+16 = third smallest

    x+24 = biggest

    Let's add them.

    x+x+8+x+16+x+24=208; let's add like terms.

    4x+48=208; let's subtract 48 from both sides.

    4x=160; let's divide.

    160:4=40

    This means the smallest number is 40. We can now check our answer.

    40+48+56+64

    88+120

    208

    So, the biggest number is 208.
