Answer:

22, 17, and 44.

Step-by-step explanation:

So what you do is you will have three equations that we will put together.

1. x. The first number is x because they don't give us anything about it.

2. x-5. It says that the second number is 5 less than the first number.

3. 2x. It says that the third number is 2 times the first number.

<em>x+x-5+2x=83. </em>

<em>4x-5=83.</em>

<em>4x=88.</em>

<em>x=22. </em>

That is the first number. To find the second and third, you will plug 22 into the x.

2. 22-5=17.

3. 2(22)=44.

22, 17, 44 are your answers.

A shakes with B, C and D. So 3 handshakes

B already shakes with A. So B shakes with C and D. 2 handshakes

C already shakes with A and B. So C shakes with D only. 1 handshake.

D already shake hand with all above.

Total handshakes: 3 + 2 + 1 = 6

He had saved 320 initially

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount he saved be 'a'

Amount spent = 20 + 40 + 30

= 90

At the end he has 280

280 = a - 90 +50
