The sum of three numbers $a, b$ and $c$ is $60$. If we decrease $a$ by $1$, we get the value $N$. If we increase $b$ by $2$, we get the value $N$. If we multiply $c$ by $3$, we also get the value $N$. What is the value of $N$?

a + b + c  = 60

(a - 1) = N    →  a  = N + 1

(b + 2)  = N  →  b =  N - 2

3c  = N        →   c =  N /  3

 

(N + 1) + (N - 2) + N / 3  = 60

 

(7/3)N  =  61

 

N = (61 * 3)  / 7 =   183 / 7
