Answer:

The first variable is 11. The second variable is 7. The third variable is 44.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, make an equation with like variables. Instead of 62=x+y+z, change the equation into 62=x+(x-4)+4x. Then solve for x.

62= 6x-4

66= 6x

11=x

Then plug in x and solve for the other variables.

x=11

y=11-4=7

z=4(11)= 44
