\n" ); document.write( "The greatest of three numbers is 10 more than the smallest. The remaining number is twice the smallest number. The greatest number is 2 more than the sum of the other two numbers. Find the numbers.
\n" ); document.write( "
Let the smallest number be S
\n" );
document.write( "Then largest = S + 10
\n" );
document.write( "Middle/2nd smallest/2nd largest = 2S
\n" );
document.write( "Also, S + 10 = S + 2S + 2
\n" );
document.write( "S + 10 = 3S + 2
\n" );
document.write( "S - 3S = 2 - 10
\n" );
document.write( "- 2S = - 8
\n" );
document.write( "S, or smallest number = \"highlight_green%28matrix%281%2C3%2C+%28-+8%29%2F%28-+2%29%2C+%22=%22%2C+4%29%29\"
\n" );
document.write( "You should be able to fund the other 2. I can't do everything for you. \n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
