Hi,
Three numbers have the *[tex \large\ sum \ 447] 
The <u>second number is 23 greater than the first number</u>{{{highlight(x)}}}
  and the <u>third is 32 greater than the second number.</u>
Question states***
{{{x + (x+23) + (x+23 +32) = 447}}}
                3x = 447 - 78
                3x = 369
                 x = 123, the 1st number. The 2nd number is 146 and 3rd is 178
and****
 123 + 146 + 178 = 447
