The equation to represent the situation is like so:

[tex]x+(x-12)+3(x-12)=332[/tex]

Simplify.

[tex]x+x-12+3x-36=332[/tex]

[tex]5x-48=332[/tex]

[tex]5x-380=0[/tex]

Solve for the variable x.

[tex]5x=380[/tex]

[tex]x=76[/tex]

[tex]first\ man =x\\second\ man =x-12\\machine=3(x-12)[/tex]

[tex]first\ man=76\\second\ man=64\\machine=192[/tex]

Verify.

[tex]x+(x-12)+3(x-12)=332[/tex]

[tex]76+(76-12)+3(76-12)=332[/tex]

[tex]76+64+192=332[/tex]

[tex]332=332[/tex]
