Given
sum of three numbers = 60
Second number is two times the third number
First number is eight less than the third number
Find
Numbers
Explanation
Let third number be x
according to the question,
second number - 2x
third number - x - 8
so ,
[tex]\begin{gathered} x+2x+x-8=60 \\ 4x=68 \\ x=\frac{68}{4} \\ x=17 \end{gathered}[/tex]Final Answer
Therefore ,
first number = 17 - 8 = 9
second number = 2 * 17 = 34
third number = 17
so , numbers are 9 , 34 and 17
