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 .

Answer:
x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Two secants drawn from an external point to the circle.
The (outside ) × (whole) of one secant is equal to the (outside) × (whole) of the other secant, that is
(x + 2)(x + 2 + 2x - 8) = (x + 1)(x + 1 + 2x - 5)
(x + 2)(3x - 6) = (x + 1)(3x - 4) ← expand both sides using FOIL
3x² - 12 = 3x² - x - 4 ( subtract 3x² - x - 4 from both sides )
x - 8 = 0 ( add 8 to both sides )
x = 8
