The sum of three numbers is 124. the third number is 3 times the first. the second number is 9 more than the first. what are the numbers?

23, 32, 69

Step-by-step explanation:

3 numbers x, y, z

z = 3x

y = x + 9

x+y+z=124

x + (x + 9) + 3x = 124

5x + 9 = 124

5x = 115

x = 23

y = 32

z = 69

check: 23 + 32 + 69 = 124

the answer is:

the correct option:

b.

to solve the problem, we need to remember how to operate to simplify exponential expressions using the logarithms.

we are given the equation:

then, using placing logarith with base 7 on both sides of the equation, we have:

so, rounding the obtained result to two decimal places (nearest hundreth), we have:

hence, we have that the correct option:

b.

have a nice day!
