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.

which of the following numbers is lowest or furthest to the left on the number line 48, 95, 21, 64, 53
Tamiku [17]

Answer: I am not to sure but I believe that the correct answer is 21


Step-by-step explanation: I believe this is the  correct answer because on the number line the numbers generally follow a sequenced order beginning with the lowest number and increasing towards larger numbers. The lowest number in this question is 21 and in the American systems we read left to right causing the number line to begin with the lowest number from the left and going to the right. The order would be 21, 48, 53, 64, 95.
