Answer:
11
Step-by-step explanation:
let the first number be n , then the second number is 5n and
the third number is 5n - 14
Sum the numbers and equate to 41
n + 5n + 5n - 14 = 41
11n - 14 = 41 ( add 14 to both sides )
11n = 55 ( divide both sides by 11 )
n = 5
Thus
first number = 5
second number = 5n = 5 × 5 = 25
third number = 5n - 14 = 5(5) - 14 = 25 - 14 = 11
