Question 929313: there are 3 numbers that add up to 90, the second number is twice as much as the first number, and the third number is two more than the first number, what are the numbers

first number = n

the second number is twice as much as the first number

second number = 2n

the third number is two more than the first number

third number = n+2

there are 3 numbers that add up to 90



n + 2n + n+2 = 90
      4n + 2 = 90
          4n = 88
           n = 22

first number = n = 22
second number = 2n = 2(22) = 44
third number = n+2 = 22+2 = 24
