Q1
Since the sum of 3 number be 105
So
5x+3x+7x=105
15x=105
X=7
1st number=35
2nd number=21
3rd number =49

Q2
Let first number be=x
Second number be=2x
Sum of this two number is 24
so x+2x=24
3x=24
X=8
1st number=8
2nd number=16

Hope this can help.

Looks like you did most of it.

The next step would be setting them equal to 105, like the problem suggests.


5z+3x+7x=105


15x=105


x=7

Then we can plug back in to find the numbers.


5*7=35


3*7=21


7*7=49


35+21+49=105

The three numbers are
35, 21, 49.

Hope this helps.

頑張って!
