The sum of three numbers is 123. The second number is 9 less than two times the first number. The third number is 6 more than three times the first number. Find the three numbers.
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Let the numbers be a,b,c
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION:
\n" ); document.write( "a+b+c=123
\n" ); document.write( "b = 2a-9
\n" ); document.write( "c = 3a+6
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Rearrange the equations:
\n" ); document.write( "a +b+c = 123
\n" ); document.write( "2a-b+0 = 9
\n" ); document.write( "3a+0-c = -6
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "solve this system of three equations any way you know how.
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "I get a=21, b=33, c=69
