A second number is three times a first number. A third number is 15 less than the first number. If the sum of the three numbers is 190, find the numbers.

Answer

Let the first number be x.

The second number is 3x.

The third number is x - 15.

According to the problem, the sum of the three numbers is 190:

x + 3x + (x - 15) = 190

Simplify the equation:

5x - 15 = 190

Add 15 to both sides:

5x = 205

Divide by 5:

x = 41

So, the first number is 41, the second number is 3 * 41 = 123, and the third number is 41 - 15 = 26.

First Number: 41

Second Number: 123

Third Number: 26
