The "plus x minus two x" part basically means "minus x".
So, "six minux x equals five".
This means that six minus five is x. So, x is one!
Now, let's check this in the problem: replace x with 1. Six plus one minus two ones equals five? Yes, it does!
The answer is x=1.

Step-by-step explanation:
Ratios:
Given,
The sum of three integers is 92
So,
Let,
The first integer be "x"
The second integer be "y"
The third integer be "z"
Now,
According to the question,
y = 3x ..............equation (1)
z = 2x - 10 .............. equation (2)
x + y + z = 92 ..............equation (3)
Now,
Substituting the value of "y" and "z" from equation (1) and (2), we get,
x + (3x) + (2x - 10) = 92
x + 3x + 2x - 10 = 92
6x - 10 = 92
6x = 92 + 10
x = 102 / 6
x = 17
Now,
substituting the value of "x" in equation (1)
y = 3 (17)
y = 51
Now,
Substituting the value of "x" in equation (2),
z = 2 (17 ) - 10
z = 34 - 10
z = 24
So, the numbers are 17, 51 and 24
