Answer:

14, 20, 60

Step-by-step explanation:

first set up an equation. let the second number be x, the first number be x-6, and the third number be 3x. set the equation equal to 94:

x+x-6+3x=94

Then solve:

5x-6=94

5x=100

x=20

This means that the second number is 20.

To find the first number we would subtract 20 by 6:

20-6=14

To find the first number we would multiply 20 by 3:

20(3)=60

So, the three numbers are 20, 14, and 60.
