The three numbers are: 17, 88 and 22

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find three numbers.

Let Third number = x

Second number = 4x (given in question: The second number is 4 times the third)

First number x-5 (given in question: The first number is 5 less than the third.)

And We are also given in question that:

The sum of 3 numbers is 127. i,e

$x+4x+x-5=127$

Solving and finding x,

$6x=127+5\\6x=132\\x= 132/6\\x= 22$

So, third number x = 22

Second number = 4x = 4(22) = 88

First number = x-5 =22-5 = 17

SO, the three numbers are: 17, 88 and 22
