The second of three number is 1 less than the first the third number is 5 less than the second if the first number is twice as large as the third find the three number

The three numbers are 12, 11, and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

First Number be x

Second Number be y

Third Number be z

Now, we can come up with equations from the word problem.

The 2nd is 1 less than 1st means:

y = x - 1

3rd is 5 less than 2nd means:

z = y - 5

1st is TWICE as large as 3rd means:

x = 2z

We have 3 equations. Let's put 3rd into 1st, we get:

y = 2z - 1

Now put this into 2nd equation,  we get:

z = 2z - 1 - 5

Solving for z:

5 + 1 = 2z - z

z = 6

We know x = 2z, so x = 2(6) = 12

x = 12

and y = x - 1, this means y = 12 - 1 = 11

y = 11

x

describing distributions is one of the key skills you’ll need to earn a high score on the ap statistics exam. if you need proof of this, just flip through some past exam questions, which can be found at the collegeboard website. you’ll notice that the first free response question is almost always a question requiring you to look at a graph and describe it.
