Answer:

37

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 1st number

y = 2st number

z = 3rd number

x + y + z = 235

y = x + 15

z = 8x

x + x + 15 + 8x = 235

10x = 220

x = 22

y = 37

z = 176

The second number is 37.

Given that,

  • The sum of three numbers is 235.
  • The second number  is 15 more than the first number, and the third number  is 8 times the first number.
  • Here we assume the first number be x, second number be y, and third number be z.

Based on the above information, the calculation is as follows:

x + y + z = 235  

y = x + 15  

z = 8x

Now  

x + x + 15 + 8x = 235

10x = 220

x = 22

So,

y = 22 + 15

= 37
