Hi there,
\n" ); document.write( "Make the second number = 'x'
\n" ); document.write( "First number = x - 6
\n" ); document.write( "Third number = 4x
\n" ); document.write( "(x - 6) + x + 4x = 90
\n" ); document.write( "x - 6 + x + 4x = 90
\n" ); document.write( "Collect like terms:
\n" ); document.write( "x + x + 4x = 90 + 6
\n" ); document.write( "6x = 96
\n" ); document.write( "x = 16
\n" ); document.write( "First number = 10
\n" ); document.write( "Second number = 16
\n" ); document.write( "Third number = 64
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps :-)
