Please help quick!

Divide 60 into 3 parts,so that the second may be 3 times the first,and third double the second.

Answer 1

Answer:

6,18,36

Step-by-step explanation:

60 = x + 3x + 2(3x)

60 = x+3x+6x

60 = 10x

x = 6

So the three parts are 6, 18, 36

Answer 2

Answer:

let us assume that x ,3x and 3*2x

i.e x,3x and 6x are the three no.

now,

x+3x+6x=60

=>10x=60

=>x=60/10

=>x=6

we all now know the value of x

3x=3*6=18

6x=6*6=36

therefore the required three numbers are

6,18 and 36
