Question 800670
the sum of three integers is 124.the third is seven more than the second and the second is six times the first.Find the integers.
--------------------------
x + y + z = 124
z = y + 7
y = 6x
===============
Substitute for x and for z and solve for "z"::
(y/6) + y + y+7 = 124
------------------------
(y/6) + 2y = 117
-------
(13/6)y = 117
---------
y = (6/13)117
y = 144
----
x = 144/6 = 24
----
z = y + 7 = 151
