The sum of three numbers is 6. The third number is the sum of the first and second numbers. The first number is one more than the third number. Find the numbers.

So here is what your asking:


a+b+c=6


c= a+b and
a> c

So here is my best guess:


a=4,\ b= -1,\ c=3 because
4 -1 =3, and\ 3+3=6

There are also multiple other solutions, but this is the one with the smallest numbers.

If you find out my answer is incorrect, just tell me and I'll come back and rework my math. :-) Thanks
