The answer I got is (-6,-2) the x value is -6
<span>Three numbers can be defined as x, y, and z.
x + y + z = 64
y = x+3
z = 2x - 11
.
substitute for y and z
x + (x+3) + (2x-11) = 64
4x -8 = 64
4x = 72
x = 18
.
y = x+3 = 21
z = 2x -11 = 2(18) -11 = 36-11 = 25
.
x + y + z = 18 + 21 + 25 = 64
Correct.

Answer: The three numbers are 18, 21, and 25.</span>
2 7/12 hours
X=101/2 - ( 3+4+1/4+2/3)
X=101/2 - 7 + (1/4+2/3)
1/4+2/3= 11/12
101/2 - 7 =3 1/5
X = 3 1/5 - 11/12 = 2 7/12
