The sum of three numbers is 118. The second number is 8 less than the first. The third number is 3 times the second. What are the numbers?

913

Step-by-step explanation:

So first you'll want to write it out

118

2nd number is 8 less than the 1st

3rd number is 3 times the second.

Alright so what we'll want to do is turn the 1st number into 9, so that way we can subtract 9 - 8 without getting a negative number.

Next, we will multiply the 2nd number by 3.

9 - 8 = 1

1 x 3 = 3

And now we have our answer! 913.
