Well,you have the answer on your paper already...
2.6 because you substract
Answer:
13, 18, 72
Step-by-step explanation:
let x-5 represent the first number, since the first number is 5 less than the third number. let x represent the third number. let 4x represent the third number, since it's four times greater than the third number.
set up an equation, and make it equal to 103:
x-5+x+4x=103
solve:
6x-5=103
6x=108
x=18
so, the third number is 18.
the first number is equal to x-5, so:
18-5=13
the second number is equal to 4x, so:
4(18)=72
so, the three numbers are 13, 18, and 72.
