Answer:

  11, 7, 44

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the first number. Then the second is (x-4) and the third is (4x). Their sum is ...

  x +(x -4) +(4x) = 62

  6x = 66 . . . . . . . . . . . . add 4, collect terms

  x = 11 . . . . . . . . . divide by 6

  x -4 = 7 . . . . . . . find the second number

  4x = 44 . . . . . . . find the third number

The three numbers are 11, 7, and 44.
