Question

The sum of three numbers is 124. The third number is 3 times the first. The second number is 9 more than the first. What are the numbers?​

Answer 1

23, 32, 69

Explanation:

3 numbers x, y, z

z = 3x

y = x + 9

x+y+z=124

x + (x + 9) + 3x = 124

5x + 9 = 124

5x = 115

x = 23

y = 32

z = 69

check: 23 + 32 + 69 = 124
