The sum of three numbers is 54. The largest number is twice the small- est, and the third number is six less than the largest. Find the numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let smallest number be x,

so largest no would be 2x

other no would be 2x-6

sum = 54= x+2x+2x-6

54= 5x-6

60=5x

60/5=x

12=x

2x= 24, 2x-6=24-6=18

Three numbers are 12, 18, 24

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

since, we have to isolate x on anyone side

so, we can move all x terms on one side

subtract both sides by 2x

add both sides by 9

divide both sides by 4

we get
