Answer» The average of three numbers = 58 So, the sum of three numbers = 58 × 3 = 174 Let third number be 4x So, the first number = 3x So, the SECOND number = 4x - 24 According to the question ⇒ 3x + 4x - 24 + 4x = 174 ⇒ 11X = 198 ⇒ x = 18 So, the first number = 3 × 18 = 54 The second number = 4 × 18 - 24 = 48 ∴ The difference between the first number and the second number = 54 - 48 = 6 |
