Let x = the first number

The third number is 7 more than the first.

So the third number = x+7

The second number is 4 times the third.

\r\n" );
document.write( "So the second number = 4(x+7)

The sum of three numbers is 119.

So x + x+7 + 4(x+7) = 118. \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Solve that for x.  It will be the first number\r\n" );
document.write( "Add 7 to get the third number.  Then multiply\r\n" );
document.write( "that by 4 to get the second number.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
