Answer:

The answer to your question is 21, 31, 84

Explanation:

Data

sum = 136

1st = x

2nd = x + 10

3rd = 4x

Process

- Write an equation to find the numbers

x + (x + 10) + 4x = 136

x + x + 10 + 4x = 136

6x = 136 - 10

6x = 126

x = 126/6

x = 21

- Find the numbers

1sr number = 21

2nd number = 21 + 10 = 31

3rd number = 4(21) = 84
