Answer:
22, 17, and 44.
Step-by-step explanation:
So what you do is you will have three equations that we will put together.
1. x. The first number is x because they don't give us anything about it.
2. x-5. It says that the second number is 5 less than the first number.
3. 2x. It says that the third number is 2 times the first number.
x+x-5+2x=83.
4x-5=83.
4x=88.
x=22.
That is the first number. To find the second and third, you will plug 22 into the x.
2. 22-5=17.
3. 2(22)=44.
22, 17, 44 are your answers.
