Question

The sum of three numbers is 54. The largest number is twice the small-

est, and the third number is six less than the largest. Find the numbers

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let smallest number be x,

so largest no would be 2x

other no would be 2x-6

sum = 54= x+2x+2x-6

54= 5x-6

60=5x

60/5=x

12=x

2x= 24, 2x-6=24-6=18

Three numbers are 12, 18, 24
