Answer: The numbers are 11, 7, and 44.
I couldn’t give you the expressions because I didn’t know if that was multiple choice
Explanation:
Right out what you know
3 numbers=62
For this we will let the first number equal x, kinda a place holder until we get the answer.
2nd=X-4
3rd=4x
Now to make clear what you are adding together
1st number: x
2nd number: x-4
3rd number:4x
The sum to all 3 numbers:62
The equation:
x+x-4+4x=62
Combine like terms
6x-4=62
Add four to both sides to get rid of the four
6x=66
Divide both sides by 6 to get x by itself
x=11
Now take 11 and plug it back into the beginning information we had.
1st number=11
2nd number=11-4=7
3rd number=11 times 4= 44
All 3 numbers=62
Check your work
11+7+44=62
18+44=62
62=62
As you can see the numbers are correct.
