Separate 846 into 3 parts so that the second part is twice the first part and the third part is triple the second part.

Answer 1

first part = x

second part = twice the first = 2 * (x) = 2x

third part = triple the second part = 3 * (2x) = 6x

to find x:

846 = x + 2x + 6x

846 = 9x

x = 94

Plug back in to find the parts!

first part = x = 94

second part = 2x = 188

third part = 6x = 564
