Number summand expression

Express the number 274 in the form of the sum of three summands so that the first summand is 16 smaller than the second summand and the third summand is six larger than the first summand.

Final Answer:

a =  84
b =  100
c =  90

Step-by-step explanation:


a +(a+16) + (a+6) = 274

3a = 252


a = 252/3 = 84

a = 84

Our simple equation calculator calculates it.
b=a+16=84+16=100
c=a+6=84+6=90
