Question

the sum of three number is 202, the second is three more than the first number, the third number is three times the second number. what are the three numbers ?

Answer 1

x = 38

y = 41

z = 123

Explanation:

x + y + z = =202

y = x + 3

z = 3y = 3(x + 3) = 3x + 9

x + y + z = x + x + 3 + 3x + 9 = 5x + 12 = 202

5x + 12 = 202

5x = 190

x = 38

y = x + 3 = 41

z = 3y = 123
