X + (x + 2)
x + 2 + 3x = 234 combine like terms
4x + 2 = 234 subtract two to isolate x
4x = 232 divide by four
x = 58
The two numbers are 58 and 60.
this can be solve by 3 variable equation
let x be the money of luke
y money of rachel
z money of daniel
first equation
x = y + 21
second equation
x = z + 48
third equation
x + y + z = 168
solving simultaneously
x =79
y = 58
z = 31
