The 3 numbers are: x-3, x, 4x+2.

35 = 6x-1
x = 6

The 3 numbers are: 3, 6, 26

Answer: The first is 3

The second is 6

The third is 26

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y + z = 35

x = y - 3

z = 4y + 2

(y - 3) + y + (4y + 2) = 35

6y - 1 = 35

6y = 36

y = 36/6

y=6

x = y - 3

x = 6 - 3

x = 3

z= 4y + 2

z = (4 x 6) + 2

z = 26
