Question

Find three numbers whose sum is 50, if the first is 2 more than the second, and the third is 2/3 of the second

Answer 1

Answer:

20, 18, 12

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y + z = 50

x = y + 2

z = (2/3)y , then

y + 2 + y + 2y/3 = 50

2y + 2y/3 = 48 , let's multiply equation by 3, to get rid off of denominator

6y + 2y = 144 -----> y = 18
