Answer 1

Answer:

12,8,4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smaller number be x.

Then,= x+3x+(3x-x) = 24                           (Since 1st no. is x so, 2nd be 3x-x)

         = 4x+2x = 24

         = 6x = 24

         = x   =  24/6

         =  x   =  4

So, x = 4

1st no. = x = 4

2nd no. = (3x-x) = (12-4) = 8

3rd no. = 3x = (3*4) = 12

IN INCREASING ORDER

= 12, 8, 4
