Answer:

9, 30, and 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three numbers be a, b, and c.

The sum of them is 54. So:

a+b+c=54

The third number is 6 more than the first. In other words, c=a+6.

The second number is twice the third. In other words, b=2c.

Let’s write the second number in terms of a. Since b=2c, this means that b=2(a+6).

Let’s substitute them into our equation. So:

a+2(a+6)+(a+6)=54

Solve for a. Distribute:

a+2a+12+a+6=54

Combine like terms:

4a+18=54

Subtract 18 from both sides:

4a=36

Hence, the value of a is:

a=9

So, the first number is 9.

The third number is 6 more than the first, so the third number is 15.

The second number is twice the third. So, the second number is 30.

Therefore, our numbers are:

9, 30, and 15.
