    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the third number be n, then

    The first number is n + 5 and the second number is 4n

    Sum the 3 numbers and equate to 95, that is

    n + 5 + 4n + n = 95 ← collect like terms on left side

    6n + 5 = 95 (subtract 5 from both sides)

    6n = 90 (divide both sides by 6)

    n = 15

    Thus

    The first number is 15 + 5 = 20

    The second number is 4 * 15 = 60

    The third number is 15
