Answer:

1) 94, 2) 188, 3) 564

Explanation:

This is pretty simple. The first thing you want to do is come up with an algebraic equation to solve this. It will be x + 2x + 6x=846 . The first x represents the smallest part, or the first part. The second part is represented by 2x because it is twice the first, and 6x is 3 times the second part which is 6 times the first part. Combine like terms to get 9x = 846. Now isolate the variable by dividing 9 from both sides. This will give you x = 94. Now just plug in the x to find the second and third part.

Hope this helped :)
