Answer:

the three numbers = -8, -32, -30

Step-by-step explanation:

let the first number = a

let the second number = b

let the third number = c

From the first statement:  b = 4a

From the second statement: c = b + 2

From the third statement: b - 2c = 28

From the above equations, we can solve (1) and (2) together.

c = b + 2

b = c - 2

Also, b - 2c = 28

(c - 2) - 2c = 28

c - 2 - 2c = 28

-c = 30

c = -30

b = -30 - 2

  = -32

b = 4a

a = b/4

a = -32/4

a = -8

Therefore, the three numbers = -8, -32, -30
