Question 911602: The sum of 3 numbers is 54.The difference of the largest and the smallest is 48 and the sum of the two smaller numbers is 14.Find the numbers. Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x, y ,z the 3 numbers(smallest to largest)
x + y + z = 54
z - x= 48 ,
x + y + (48+x) = 54
2x + y = 6
......
2x + y = 6 -(x + y = 14)
x = -8 , y = 22 and z = 40
