Question

The sum of three numbers is 4. if you subtract the third number from the second, you obtain the first. the sum of the third number and four times the second number is equal to the first number. find the three numbers.

Answer 1

Hey there :)

When you subtract the third number from second, you get first
2 - ( -3 ) = 5

Sum of third number and four times the second number is equal to first number
- 3 + 4 ( 2 ) = 5

Sum of all three numbers is 4
5 - 3 + 2 = 4

First number = 5
Second number = 2
Third number = - 3
