K, m,n each stand for a whole number.

They add together to make 1500

K+m+n=1500

M is 3 times as big as n.

K is twice as big a n.

Calculate the numbers k, m, n

You need to solve a system comprised of 3 equations.

1) k+m+n=1500
2) m=3n
3) k=2n
Replace equations 2) and 3) in 1) => 2n+3n+n=1500 => 6n=1500 => n=250 

By reaplacing n in 2) => m=3250=750

In 3) =>  k=2250=500
