The numbers are 30, 22, and 66 if the sum of three numbers is 118. The second number is 8 less than the first. The third number is 3 times the second.

What is a linear equation?

It is defined as the relation between two variables, if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.

If in the linear equation, one variable is present, then the equation is known as the linear equation in one variable.

Let's suppose the number are x, y and z

Then,

x + y + z = 118  ...(1)

y = x - 8   ...(2)

z = 3y  ....(3)

After solving the above three equation by plugging the value of z in the equation (1) then solve this equation with (2) we will get:

x = 30

y = 22

Then z from the equation (3):

z = 3(22) = 66

Thus, the numbers are 30, 22, and 66 if the sum of three numbers is 118. The second number is 8 less than the first. The third number is 3 times the second.
