Question

The sum of three numbers is 124. The third number is 4 times the first. The first number is 8 more than the second. What are the numbers?

Answer 1

Answer:The first number is 22, the second number is 14, and the third number is 88.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x=second number

8+x=first number

4(8+x)=third number

x+8+x+4(8+x)=124

2x+8+4(8+x)=124

2x+8+32+4x=124

6x+40=124

6x=84

x=14

8+x=8+14=22

4(8+x)=4(8+14)=4(22)=88
