haha they were cool...I got 2 and 4 and 5, and here's how I got number 2:
x = 1st number
y = 2nd number
z = 3rd number
from the given information we can determine these expressions:
y = 4z
x = y - 7
y = 4z - 7
xyz = 16
x + y + z = 11
combining simultaneous equations:
4z - 7 + 4z + 2 = 11
8z - 5 = 11
8z = 16
z = 2
OR
(4z - 7) (4z) z = 16
(16z^2 - 28z) z = 16
16 z^3 - 28z^2 = 16
4z^3 - 7z^2 - 4 = 0
z = 2
when z = 2,
y = 4z = 4(2) = 8
when y = 8,
x = y - 7 = 8 - 7 = 1
so x = 1, y = 8, z = 2
so the final number is 182
lol I like maths...hehe =D
