Answer 2

let numbers be a, b, and c
the sum of three numbers is 50
a+b+c=50

Answer 3

the second number b is three times the first number a, so you have
b=3a

Answer 4

and the third c number is twice the second b, so you have
c=2b=2(3a)=6x
3a+a+6a=50
solve for a

Answer 5

A=5

Answer 6

good so one of the numbers is 5

Answer 7

now find b
We have b=3a
so we know a=5
so b=3(5)
what is 3 x 5 ?

Answer 8

Answer 9

Ok so now we have 5,15
we need to find c
c=6a (as i explained above)
c=6(5)
6 x 5 =?

Answer 10

Answer 11
