Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

The last digit is 1 3 5  7 9 because the last digit is odd.

The first digit must be a 3 because the number is between 300 and 350

Let the first digit = x

Let the second digit = y

Let the third digit = z

x + y = z

x + y + z = 14                        Substitute z for x + y

z + z = 14                              Combine

2z = 14                                  Divide by 2

2z/2 = 14/2                            

z = 7

The first digit is 3 and the third digit = 7

The middle digit is 3 less than the last digit.

y = 7 - 3 = 4
