Question

divid 534 into three parts such that the second part will be less 32 less than twice the first, and the third will be 18 more than the first.

Answer 1

let first part=x
so that 2nd part=2x-32
and 3rd part=x+18

.•.x+2x-32+x+18=534
or 4x-14=534
.or 4x=534+14
.•. x=548/4
=137
therefore, 1st part=137
2nd part=2*137-32
=274-32
=242
and 3rd part=x+18
=137+18
=155 answer.
hope this will help you.
