Let the smaller number be S and the larger number L. The difference if L - S. Divide this difference into (say) three, then The first of the two intermediate numbers is S + (L-S)/3 The second of the two intermediate numbers is S + 2(L-S)/3
Call the numbers s for the smaller number and l for the larger. From the problem statement, s + l = 35 and l = 2s + 7. From the first of these equations, s = 35 - l. Substituting this expression into the second equation yields: l = 2(35 - l) + 7. Multiplying out yields: l = 70 - 2l + 7. Adding like terms after collecting the terms with "l" on the left yields: 3l = 77 or l = 77/3. Then from the first equation s = 35 - 77/3 = 28/3
