Question

The sum of three numbers is 134. The second number is 8 less than the first. The third number is 4 times the second. What are the numbers?

Answer 1

Answer:

29, 21, 84

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x.

The second number is x - 8.

The third number is 4(x - 8).

Their sum is 134.

x + (x - 8) + 4(x - 8) = 134

x + 5(x - 8) = 134

x + 5x - 40 = 134

6x = 174

x = 29

x - 8 = 29 - 8 = 21

4(x - 8) = 4(29 - 8) = 4(21) = 84
