Small number =X
mid number = 3X-4
large number = 3x

X+3X-4+3X=24
7X-4=24
7X-4+4=24+4
7X=28
X=28/7
X=4

S=4
M=3(4) -4=12-4=8
L=3(4)=12

The numbers are 4,8 and 12

Five times the sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 13 less than the original number. If you reverse the digits in the two-digit number, four times the sum of its two digits is 21 less than the reversed two-digit number. (Hint: You can use variables to represent the digits of a number. If a two-digit number has the digit x in tens place and y in one’s place, the number will be 10x + y. Reversing the order of the digits will change their place value and the reversed number will 10y + x.) The difference of the original two-digit number and the number with reversed digits is .
