Hey there mate ;)

Answer:- ( 10 20 10)

Step-by-step explanation:-

As per question, we can solve by splitting 40 into :-


10 \: \: \: \: 20 \: \: \: \: 10

Proof:

● As its told that the second number must be twice the first number , which means 20 should be the double of 10 (Proved)

● Next it is told that the third number must be the same as first number, which means that 10 must be equal to 10, which is true.

So, the answer is (10 20 10)
