Find three whole numbers with the sum 147, knowing that the quotient of the second and first is 2 and the remainder 3 and the quotient of the third with the second is 3 and the remainder 2. Here's what i did: a+b+c=147 b=2a+3 c=3b+2 I put the in system:: $$-2a+b=3$$ $$-3b+c=2$$ $$a+b+c=147$$ Click here to watch my solution

a is not a whole number. Could you tell me where am I wrong?
