X-Y-Z
Y=3X
Z=X-6
X=Z+6 or X=Y/3
Can you give me the Process in which to find the answers,
X=10
Y=30
Z=4 Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
Hi,
The sum of three numbers is 44
the second number is three times the first number
and the third number is 6 less than the first number
You had a great Start in the Set Up!
1st number: x
2nd number y: 3x
3rd number z: x -6
Question states***sum of the three numbers is 44
1st + 2nd + 3rd = 44
x + 3x + (x-6) = 44
5x - 6 = 44
5x = 50
x = 10, the 1st number. 2nd number is 30 and 3rd number is 4
and...
