Answer:
19a - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
<span>Let the first number be x.
Then the second number is 3x.
Then the third number is (x+100).
Sum of the numbers=500
x+3x+(x+100)=500</span>
<span>4x+(x+100)-500=0
</span><span>5x=400</span>
<span>x=80
</span><span>The first number is 80.
The second number is 240.
The third number is 180.
We can check by adding all three of those numbers together: 80+240+180 = 500

For better understanding think of it this way. There are hundred customers, 60 orders coffee 35 orders pie and 30 does not order pie or coffee.
This means that 70 does order coffee or pie or both. Out of those 70 people 10 will not order coffee and 35 will not order pie. Thus 70-10-35=25 will order both coffee and pie.
P=0.25
Is that the whole probkem?
