The sum of three numbers a, b, and c is 99. If we increase a by 6, decrease b by 6 and multiply c by 5, the three resulting numbers are equal. What is the value of b?

a+6=b6=5ca=b12,c=b65

a+b+c=99b12+b+b65=99115b665=9915b65=9b6=45b=51.

Please try and refrain from giving full answers. 

Sometimes is ok but many people are here solely to cheat.  Clair is definitely one of those people.
