Hi,
The sum of three numbers{{{highlight(x)}}}, {{{highlight(y)}}},&{{{highlight(z)}}}is 137.
The second number{{{highlight(y)}}} is 4 more than two times the first number{{{highlight(x)}}}. 
The third number{{{highlight(z)}}} is 5 less than three times the first number{{{highlight(x)}}}.
Translate into an equation: 
  x +   y    +  z     = 137
  x + {{{2x+4}}} + {{{3x-5}}} = 137
      6x = 138
       x = 23
three numbers are:  23, 50, 64
and...
{{{23 + 50 + 64 = 137}}}
