Question

the sum of 3 numbers is 26. the second number is twice the first and the third number is 6 more than the second. find the number

Answer 1

the numbers are 4, 8, 14

Explanation:

If we subtract 6 from the third number and from the total, we find that we now have 5 times the first number for a total of 20.

The first number is 4.

The second number is 2×4 = 8.

The third number is 8 + 6 = 14.
