iv) The sum of three numbers is 110. The second number is twice the first. The third number is equal to three
times the first minus one-half the first. Find the numbers.

v) The sum of three numbers is 6. The third number is the sum of the first and the second number. The first
number is one more than the third number. Find the numbers.

vi) The sum of three numbers is -4. The second number decreased by the third is equal to the first. The sum
of the first and second number is -5. Find the numbers.
