Let the first number be = x

Then the second number = 2x

The third number = 2x - 5

Their sum = 55

This can be written in an equation as =

x + 2x + 2x - 5 = 55

= x + 2x + 2x = 55 + 5 ( transposing -5 from LHS to RHS changes -5 to +5 )

= x + 2x + 2x = 60

= 5x = 60

= x = 60 ÷ 5 ( transposing ×5 from LHS to RHS changes ×5 to ÷5 )

= x = 12

The first number = x = 12

The second number = 2x = 2 × 20 = 24

The third number = 2x - 5 = 24 - 5 = 19

Therefore , the three numbers are 12 , 24 and 19 .

Volgvan
The complete question in the attached figure

we know that
<span>the distance from a point to line (y-axis) is the perpendicular line against y-axis, which is the absolute value of x-coordinates
</span>
in this problem
the point <span>(−1.5, 6)
the </span>absolute value of x-coordinates is 1.5
hence 
the distance is 1.5

therefore

the answer is
the option B) the point (1.5,-3)
