Haaks18:
The sum of three numbers is 66. The second number is twice the first and six less than the third. Find the numbers

Dibss:
first no = x
second no = 2x
third number = 2x +6

their sum is 66 so:
x + 2x + 2x + 6 = 66
5x = 60
x = 12

first no = 12
second no = 2 x 12 = 24
third no = 24 + 6 = 30
