The three numbers are 12, 18 and 24
Arithmetic progression
Let the 3 number in arithmetic progression be:
a-d, d, a+d ...
If their sum is 3, then;
a-d+d+a+d = 3
2a + d = 3 ........... 1
If the sum of their squares is 11, then;
(a-d)² + d² + (a+d)² = 11
a²-2ad+d²+d²+a²+2ad+d² 11
2a²+3d² = 11 ....... 2
Solving the equations simultaneously, d = 6 and a = 12
First-term = 12
second term = 18
Thirs term = 24
Hence the three numbers are 12, 18 and 24
Hope this helps you!!!!!! :D
A=b+1
a=2b+9
b+1=2b+9
-b from both sides
1=b+9
-9 from both sides
-8=b
b+1
-8+1
-7
You can check your answer...
2b+9
2(-8)+9
-16+9
-7
The smaller is -8 and the larger is -7
