sum=81=a+b+c
b=2a
c=6+b

81=a+2a+6+2a
81=5a+6
a=15
b=30
c=36
Easy to translate into Math ...

let the first be x

"the second number is twice the first "
---> 2x
"the third number is 6times more than the second"
---> 2x+6

"the sum of 3 numbers is 81"
--> x + 2x + 2x+6 = 81

solve for x , and sub into my definitions
15+2(15)+2(15)+6=81
15+30+30+6=81
81=81
