First number = x
Third number = x - 7
Second number = 2(x - 7)
x + 2(x - 7) + x - 7 = 107
x + 2x - 14 + x - 7 = 107
Collect like terms.
4x - 21 = 107
4x = 128
x = 32
First number = 32
Second number = 50
Third number = 25
Total = 107.

Answer:

(x - 8) + 3x + x = 107

x - 8 + 3x + x = 107

5x - 8 = 107

5x = 115

x = 23, SO...

The first number is 23-8, which is 15

The second number is 3 x 23, which is 69

The third number is 23

15 + 69 + 23 = 107 CHECK!

2 x<br>— = -----<br>7 x + 10<br><br>x = ???​

Answer:

  x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Maybe you want to find x such that ...

  2/7 = x/(x +10)

  2(x +10) = 7x . . . . . . multiply by 7(x+10)

  20 = 5x . . . . . . . . . . subtract 2x, simplify

  4 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 5

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

You can almost solve this "by inspection" if you recognize the difference of the denominator and numerator is 5 on the left and 10 on the right. If you multiply the fraction on the left by 2/2, you get 4/14, the values in x/(x+10) in the fraction on the right.
