Divide 534 into three parts such that the second part will be 32 less

1.	Divide 534 into three parts such that the second part will be 32 less than twice the first, and the thirdwill be 18 more than the first.
Answer» Let the first part be xThen second part = 2x-32Third part = x+18Their sum = 534x+2x-32+x+18 = 5344x-14 = 5344x = 534+144x = 548x = 548/4x = 137 First part = 137Second part = 2(137)-32= 274-32 = 242Third part = 137+18 = 155 thanx

Answer»

Let the first part be xThen second part = 2x-32Third part = x+18Their sum = 534x+2x-32+x+18 = 5344x-14 = 5344x = 534+144x = 548x = 548/4x = 137

First part = 137Second part = 2(137)-32= 274-32 = 242Third part = 137+18 = 155
