Answer:

x = 612

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 2(y + z)        Divide by 2 to isolate y + z

x/2 = y + z         Set up the sum of three numbers        

x + y + z = 918   Substitute x / 2 for y + z

x + x/2 = 918     Combine like terms

3/2 x = 918        Multiply both sides by 2/3

2/3 * 3x/2 = 2/3 * 918

x = 612
