Question

the sum of 3 numbers is 79. the second number is 5 times the first, while the third is 16 more than the first. find these numbers

Answer 1

Let the first number be x.
Then, the second number = 5x
And, the third number = x+16

→→ x + 5x + x + 16 = 79
= 7x + 16 = 79
= 7x = 79-16 = 63

7x = 63
x = 63\7
x = 9

Therefore,
The first number is 9.
The second number is 45.
The third number is 25.
