<u>Answer:</u> The first number is 2, the second number is 3 and the third number is -2

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let the first number be 'x', the second number be 'y' and the third number be 'z'

The equations according to the question becomes:

⇒ x + y + z = 3              ....(1)

⇒ x - y + z = -3              ....(2)

⇒ x - z = 1 + y              ....(3)

Rearranging equation 3:

⇒ x - y = 1 + z                .....(4)

Putting in equation 2:

⇒ 1 + z + z = -3

⇒ 1 + 2z = -3

⇒ z = -2

Putting this value in equation 4 and equation 1, we get:

⇒ x - y = -1

⇒ x + y = 5

Cancelling 'y' by eliminiation method and equation becomes:

⇒ 2x = 4

⇒ x = 2

Putting value of 'x' and 'z' in equation 1:

⇒ 2 + y - 2 = 3

⇒ y = 3

Hence, the first number is 2, the second number is 3 and the third number is -2

18x^2+21x-9=3(6x^2)+3(7x)-3(3)\\\\=3(6x^2+7x-3)=3(6x^2+9x-2x-3)\\\\=3[3x(2x)+3x(3)-1(2x)-1(3)]\\\\=3[3x(2x+3)-1(2x+3)]\\\\=\boxed{3(2x+3)(3x-1)}
