Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
he number is 639.
In a 3-digit number,
Like this one: 100a+10b+c
the hundreds digit is twice the tens digit
So a=2b. That works for me.
while the units digit is thrice the tens digit.
Okay, so c=3b. Sounds good.
Also, the sum of its digits is 18.
I believe you are suggesting that a+b+c=18. Sure, okay
What's the number?
Well, we'll start with the sum of the digits, and replace with what is given. So:
a+b+c=18
2b+b+3b=18
6b/6=18/6
b=3
Now that we know what the tens digit (b) is, the remaining digits are easy enough.
a=2b, so a=6
c=3b, so c=9
So the three digit number must be 639.
