Given that :- the sum of 3 numbers is 26 and if the second number is twice the first and the third number is 6 more than the second

find:- number=?

let first number be x

second number is twice the first number it means second number is=2x

third number is 6 more than second it means, 2x+6

x+2x+2x+6=28

5x+6=28

5x=28-6

5x=22

x=22/5

x=4.4

so first number=4.4

second number=4.4*2=8.8

third number=8.8+6=14.8
