Answer:

first term = 15

second term = 9

Third term = 3

Explanation:

Let the first term be 3x

Let the second term be = 3x - 6 [ 6 less than first term]

Let the third term be = 1/5 of 3x


=(1)/(5) * 3x\\\\=(3)/(5)x

Difference between first and third term = 12

That is ,


3x - (3)/(5)x = 12\\\\((3x * 5) - 3x )/(5) = 12\\\\15x - 3x = 12 * 5\\\\12x = 60\\\\x = (60)/(12) = 5\\\\Therefore , \ first \ term = 3x = 3 * 5 = 15\\\\second \term = 3x - 6 = 3( 5) - 6 = 15 - 6 = 9\\\\Third \ term = (1)/(5) * 3x = (1)/(5) * (3 * 5) = 3
