The Numbers     Expressions
first            x
second           x+10
third            4(x+10)
SUM               92

---------solve and then evaluate the other two expressions.

Now evaluate the other two expressions, for "second" and "third" numbers.
The Numbers     Expressions     Value
first            x               7
second           x+10           7+10=17
third            4(x+10)         4*17=68
SUM               92            7+17+68=24+68=92 as expected

The three numbers are 7, 17, 68.
