The sum of three numbers is 65. One number is 10 more than the second number. It is also twice the third. Find each of the three numbers.

let x=first number
x-10=second number
x/2=third number
..
x+x-10+x/2=65
2x+x/2=75
4x+x=150
5x=150
x=30
..
ans:
first number=30
second number=x-10=30-10=20
third number=x/2=30/2=15
