Answer:

U = 17 1/7

T = 51 3/7

S = 61 3/7

Explanation:

Given

T+S+U=130\

T=3(U)

S= T+10 we have to find value of u

First step:

find S and T in terms of U

T is given

T = 3U

S = T +10 , using T = 3U

S = 3U+10

Using the above value in T+S+U=130

3U + 3U+10 + U = 130

=> 7U = 130-10 = 120

=> U = 120/7 = 17 1/7

T = 3U = 3*120/7 = 360/7 = 51 3/7

S = T+10 = 360/7 + 10 = (360+70)/7 = 430/7 = 61 3/7

Thus,

U = 17 1/7

T = 51 3/7

S = 61 3/7
