First no. = x
Second no. = 2(first no.) - 32 = 2(x) - 32 = 2x - 32
Third no. = x + 18
First no. + Second no. + Third no. = 534
x + 2x - 32 + x + 18 = 534
4x - 14 = 534
4x = 534 + 14
4x = 548
x = 548/4
x = 137
First no. = x = 137
Second no. = 2x - 32 = 2 (137) - 32 = 274 - 32 = 242
Third no. = x + 18 = 137 + 18 = 155
Therefore the numbers are 137,242,155
