The second number is 23 greater than the first numberhighlight%28x%29

  and the third is 32 greater than the second number.

Question states***

x+%2B+%28x%2B23%29+%2B+%28x%2B23+%2B32%29+=+447

                3x = 447 - 78

                3x = 369

                 x = 123, the 1st number. The 2nd number is 146 and 3rd is 178

 123 + 146 + 178 = 447
