    The first number:11

    The second number: 16

    The third number: 64

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the first number be x

    The second number be 5+x

    The third number be 4 (5+x)

    The sum: x+5+x+4 (5+x) = 91

    Open the brackets

    x+5+x+20+4x=91

    Arrange in like terms

    x+x+4x+5+20=91

    6x+25=91

    6x=91-25

    6x=66

    Divde both sides by 6 (the coefficient of x)

    x=11

    5+x=16

    4 (5+x) = 64
