Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. Let's denote the first number as .
. The second number is9 times the first number, so we can denote it as .
3. The third number is100 more than the first number, so we can denote it as .
4. The sum of the three numbers is364.
STEP 2
Now, we can write an equation based on the given information. The sum of the three numbers is equal to364.
STEP 3
implify the equation by combining like terms.
STEP 4
Subtract100 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term with .
STEP 5
Calculate the right side of the equation.
STEP 6
Divide both sides of the equation by11 to solve for .
STEP 7
Calculate the value of .
STEP 8
Now that we have the value for , we can find the values of the other two numbers. The second number is times the first number.
STEP 9
Calculate the value of the second number.
STEP 10
The third number is100 more than the first number.
STEP 11
Calculate the value of the third number.
The three numbers are24,216, and124.
