Question 674054
The sum of three numbers is 6. The third number is the sum of the first and second number. The first number is one more than the third number. Find the numbers.

Equations:
x + y + z = 6
z = x+y
x = z+1
-------
Rearrange:
x + y + z = 6
x + y - z = 0
x + 0 - z = 1
------------
Solve by any method you know to get:
x = 4
y = -1
z = 3
