Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

5, 10, 0

Discussion:

Let "f" be the first number. Then the questions tells us that

f + 2f  + (f-5) = 15           =>

f + 2f + f - 5 = 15            => add 5 to both sides

4f = 5+ 15 = 20              => divide both sides by 4

f = 20/4 = 5

The numbers as

f:        5

2f:     10

(f-5):  0

Thank you,

MrB
