The sum of three numbers is 37. The second number is 5 more than twice the first number, and the third number is five times the first number. What are the three numbers?

Answer 1

First = 4

Second = 13

Third = 20

they sum to 37

S=5+2F

T=5F

S+T + F = 37

5+2F + 5F = 37

8F = 32

F = 4

S=5+2(4) = 13

T =5(4) = 20
