Question

The sum of three numbers is 102. The first number is 6 more than the second

Answer 1

Given -

The sum of three numbers = 102

To Find -

Numbers =?

Step-by-Step Explanation -

Let second number = x

So,

according to the question,

First number = 6+ x

Third Number = 4x

Now,

The sum of three numbers = 102

So.

6 + x + x + 4x = 102

6 + 6x = 102

(x+ 1) = 102/6

x+ 1 = 17

x = 16

So,

First number = 6+ x = 6 + 16 = 22

Second Number = 16

Third Number = 4x = 4(16) = 64

Final Answer -

First number = 22

Second Number = 16

Third Number = 64
