Question

The first aircraft has 66 more seats than the second aircraft. The third aircraft has 25 fewer seats than the second aircraft. If their total number of seats is 386, find the number of

seats for each aircraft.

Answer 1

181, 115, 90

Explanation:

x = first aircraft, then

second aircraft = x - 66

third = x - 91

and total = x + x - 66 + x -91 = 3x - 157 = 386

3x = 543

x = 181
