Step-by-step explanation:
let the numbers are:
a, b, and c
the equation would be:
a+b+c = 131
c = 4a
b = a+5
=>
a + a+5 +4a = 131
6a +5 = 131
6a = 131-5
6a = 126
a= 126/6
a = 21
b = a+5 = 21+5
b = 26
c = 4a = 4(21)
c = 84
Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.
Exact Form:
c=1/4
Decimal Form:
c=0.25
