Let x represent the first number, y represent the second, and z represent the third.

x + y + z = 92
z = 3x
x = y - 7

Solve x = y - 7 for y.
x = y - 7
x + 7 = y

Fill in y and z so that we only have to worry about x for now.

x + y + z = 92
x + (x + 7) + (3x) = 92
x + x + 7 + 3x = 92
5x + 7 = 92
5x = 92 - 7
5x = 85
x = 85/5
x = 17

Solve for y. 
y = x + 7
y = (17) + 7
y = 24

Solve for z.
z = 3x
z = 3(17)
z = 51

So x = 17, y = 24, and z = 51.

How can finding the slopes of MN and AB help in proving that MN is the midsegment of triangle ABC?
Mademuasel [1]
Mid-segment and bottom side of the triangle is always parallel to each other, and parallel lines must have same slopes, so if their slopes are equal, then MN would be mid-segment of side AB in Triangle ABC

Hope this helps!
