Question

The sum of three numbers is 57. The second is 3 more than the first. The third is 6 more than the first. Find the numbers.

Answer 1

x + y + c = 57

let x rep first number
let y rep second number
let c rep third number

y = 3 + x

c = 6 + x

(Sub in the equations into the formula ( x + y + c = 57) And you will get your answer then you sub it into the other formulas to get the remaining numbers.
